Lights off
Angela is a sprightly lady in her seventies and lives surrounded by the love of her family. For some time, however, Francesco, her nephew to whom she is most attached, notices that the woman behaves in an unusual way. She is often absent-minded and seems sometimes "another person". Her nephew notices some strange symptoms and decides to take her to a neurologist. The neurologist's diagnosis is Alzheimer's syndrome.
The family decides to entrust Angela to a retirement home for non self-sufficient people, where Francesco often visits her. There he "interviews" her about her past life. When even the last light goes out, Angela is still there, in the book that her dearest nephew has dedicated to her.

Sono Marco Peddio, studente e giovane appassionato di cinema, con particolare interesse alla regia. I primi lavori risalgono al liceo e ad esso sono legate le prime partecipazioni a festival di cinema nazionali e internazionali rivolti a giovanissimi artisti. Il primo lavoro esterno al contesto scolastico è Sei ancora qui? che vince il premio della giuria del web all’On Air Festival di Sorrento e il Premio Farace conferito dall’Università degli Studi di Sassari. Ora frequento l’Accademia di Belle Arti “Mario Sironi” di Sassari, con la quale è stato realizzato Luci spente, ultimo lavoro realizzato nel 2020.
