Experiencing Interruptions?

THE BURNING RED

The short movie talks about the thematic of violence against women and its different facets and implications through the love story of Luca and Marzia who, separately and each one from its own point of view, tell us their last evening together.
Police Ispector Melzi is in charge of collecting the testimony of a shocked Luca and try to shed light on the mysterious and sudden disappearance of his beloved girlfriend. Instead it’s up to Anna who is responsible for an anti-violence centre for women, to welcome and comfort a frightened and lost Marzia.
Thus begins a game of cross and parallel flaschbacks thanks to which we discover not only a double version of the facts but also of the personalities of the young protagonists and that makes even harder to put together all the pieces of the puzzke and answer the question on which the whole story is built up: What really happened that fatal night?
