Pier Paolo morto e risorto

Set in a gray, barren post-apocalyptic world dominated by the black smokestacks of factories, the film tells the story of Federico, perhaps the last man on Earth, who encounters Buer, a mysterious survivor. From their meeting emerge enigmatic presences, animals that begin to repopulate the landscape, and nocturnal visions that alter the perception of reality. What develops between the two protagonists is an intimate and physical relationship that breaks every dogma, opening for Federico a path of inquiry toward answers about the end of humanity and the possibility of a new future in harmony with nature.

Trapped in a transparent cage, four characters perform their empty, ritualistic actions, staging an endless hunt, synonymous with feelings that are now dead. Michele, the puppet son of a declining nobility, manipulates and commands his fictitious bourgeois friends, Ettore and Leo, to avenge the love of Mariagrazia, which has now faded away. In this eternal hunt, each character pursues their own authentic existence, which eludes them with terrifying ease. Thus, their entire lives become empty, similar to that of objects. Only a cruel glimmer of honesty can shake the golden cage, whose walls have been too thick to be demolished until now.
