Private Project

Lockdownlove.it

Right after the lockdown period, Sabrina and Maria are smartworking together. One day Maria,
unbeknownst to Sabrina, signs both on a website to organize exclusive parties in times of covid.
The guests of the party will be two very peculiar characters.
The party happens just the evening when Giorgio, Sabrina's husband, is busy for a "dinner with his
boss”.
From that moment on a series of misunderstandings, hypocrisies and betrayals starts in the style of
a comedy with a darker side that brings to light the problems of contemporary couples.

Director Statement

We are living in a strange and difficult time, the virus has changed our habits, often accentuating illogical, pathological, compulsive behaviours'. The screenplay shows these moods, analyses some peculiar characters that will be underlined and will come to life in a completely natural way thanks to the skills of the interpreters. Lockdownlove.it is a bitter comedy halfway between the humorous verve of Woody Allen, the desecration of the bourgeoisie of Bunuel, Lockdownlove.it is a work that describes our present, our absurd, surreal and impersonal society where the bargaining chip seems to have become our emotions with its feelings often steeped in selfishness. Our skilful direction is inspired by a Marron language (which is my cinema, the one that goes beyond
the pulp while remaining tied to the psychologies of the characters and pop aesthetics). A light and delicate work with rapid, colorful and rhythmic situations and a directorial language between Danny Boyle and Guy Ritchie. The cinematography by Massimo Zeri, a great master with an international background, and a very high quality troupe, will lead us to experience unforgettable days on set running for an already won bet, the one of putting many professionals on a single set. The many professionalisms and a clockwork script will make our work a small jewel, a model of irony and entertainment that can also be a small social treatise. Lockdownlove.it in the middle of the lockdown. What you will see represented in the short can happen in every family and, at the end of the vision a subtle bitterness will reign in your spirit.
