The project
The subject of the film is the journey. The actors are the
director himself and his daughter, the young child Andrea
Vera.
The two main characters, between real and imaginary,
take a trip in which contemporary Berlin is the point of
departure and the Adriatic sea the arrival.
From the metropolis to nature, from the crystal to the
liquid world, inverting the biographic and artistic journey
of the author, Italy-Germany.
A passage in reverse, in which his daughter Andrea
becomes a kind of alter ego to the author.
In the film, the places, as well as the “Dramatis Personae”,
take on an almost metaphysical value.
In effect, the images may be read as an allegory of the
age of man and the ages of the world, of opposites that
constitute the individual and the passage of time, or
again of the sublimely technological and the sublimely
natural.
