“covid short film”
In the alleys of the ancient village of Gallipoli, pandemic anxieties and fears take over and control our mind. A harrowing race against time towards collective and individual rebirth. "Covid" spasmodically sanctions the importance of social distancing which re-elaborates the concept of freedom so that everyone can return to "breathing" life as soon as possible.

In a small suburb on the outskirts of Rome, the cheerful heat of summer camouflages a stifling atmosphere of alienation. From a distance, the families seem normal, but it’s an illusion: in the houses, courtyards and gardens, silence shrouds the subtle sadism of the fathers, the passivity of the mothers and the guilty indifference of adults. But it’s the desperation and repressed rage of the children that will explode and cut through this grotesque façade, with devastating consequences for the entire community.

Adriano is a middle-aged man living in a dilapidated villa in Tuscany, when a group of young idealistic students arrives to restore the villa's vineyards.
