Director Statement

Through a simple, but at the same time extreme story, I aim to present aspects of social reality in a straight and clear way of storytelling and filming. The film belongs to the genre of Family Drama and it’s a sixteen minute one-shot.
The selection of the one-shot enhances the evolution of the story by making more noticeable the changes that the character undergoes. The filming gives the desired emphasis on the moment, as viewers will enter the psychosynthesis of the characters whose world collapses in seconds. They will be called to assume, on the spot, their own responsibilities and to realize, once again, that everything can change in a short period of time. For bad or for good!?
