The blacksmith of lights
The purpose of the film is to make the story of Primo come to the world in a fantastic way. He was an italian blacksmith which in 1943 saved many jewish children from deportation and then died in a mental hospital, where he went for his own will. The film tries to re-tell his story in a fantastic key, the one he may had invented for himself during his years in the hospital.
The film was done for a 4-day-filmmaking contest in Nonantola Film Festival, Italy.
