Director Statement

The short film was entirely conceived and produced in the context of the 48 Hours Film Project in Rome with virtually zero budget. It was a great pleasure to be able to work with a great theater actress like Sandra Toffolatti who immediately married the project and trusted the team despite the very short schedule. Another extremely stimulating aspect of the project was the multiculturalism: the screenwriter is French, the Italian actors are both of South American origin: Chile and Argentina and overall the technical team originates from all over Italy.
