Experiencing Interruptions?

Prove di Amore (Proofs of Love)

11 characters (10 women, one man) do conjectures and hypotheses on Love. There's a voice who corrects them, (a first metaphor...Impossible to define "Love"). All female characters have faces with paint on (second metaphor: once you taste Love, you change the appearance) except for the male character, who will have a gradual and substantial change during the course. Up to a logical, unexpected, desirable, revealing and decisive epilogue.
"What is Love?" You will know.

Director Statement

"All the texts and dialogues in this film are taken from my book "Illustraphorisms". In this short film I wanted to test both professional and non-professional actresses. I haven't given any script or lyrics to any of them before. I wanted to grasp the expressive result of their improvisation, under my delirately, vague, and imprecise instructions. We all had fun".
