Solos

Far from everything, three characters in the grip of their loneliness, fury and frustrations question, in their own way, the merry-go-round of the world.
In 1864, F. Dostoyevsky wrote "Memoirs of the Underground", a text in which he makes a merciless analysis of the individual. It is the story of a man who incessantly questions his relationship with others and himself, shaking up all beliefs and commonplaces in his search for truth, so that it is difficult to know which of the two influences the other.
The film sketches the intellectual and moral labyrinth in which the characters' thoughts do not rest, their inner language is omnipresent. They accommodate each other in a closed space and in an attempt to survive, each in his own way searches in the confines of memory for a piece of life that can be his redemption.
