Sognando Venezia

Vittoria is an exuberant thirteen-year-old girl who lives in the province of Naples and who dreams of becoming an influencer. Her father, Fabrizio, on her birthday gives her a ticket to parade on the red carpet in Venice. She begins a bizarre preparation: clothes made up of newspaper clippings, the search for the right outfit to get the blue check and many, many stories on social media.

The Dependent Variables

In a dark, velvety theatre, there is a first kiss between Pietro and Tommaso. When the lights come back on, however, the two students have different expectations of what might follow. The chaos of awakening desire in its complexity and sensuality is told and made almost physically tangible through looks and gestures, approach and retreat, hope and fear.

Bare skin

In a country villa Tommaso spent the last days of summer with his father and his new partner. Nothing went the way he was supposed to, the tensions never melted. It's the last day before they go home. Maybe there is one more thing to say.

Il pesce toro

Two boys compete in basketball on the pitch of a reformatory: Simone tries to involve Valerio who is down in the dumps and then tells him a fantastic story about the "bullfish".

La Parrucchiera

A woman decides to start her own business and open a salon in the Spanish Quarter, but a rivalry with her former owner will begin.
