Vita Mors Est

It's the end of a workday. A man returns home. He's at the mercy of his thoughts and emotions. From this melancholy backdrop, a disturbing figure emerges, ready to disrupt the protagonist's order.

A man walks in a wasteland...again.Welcome to Città Sant'Angelo, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, located in the enchanting region of Abruzzo. In this short film, we will explore the charming streets, picturesque views, and breathtaking panoramas of this magical place. Through a game of hide-and-seek, we will reveal its hidden beauties, showing how this picturesque town responds to a literary critique from a bygone era. Luigi Pirandello, a renowned Italian playwright and writer, wrote the novella "Notte" (Night) after a brief stay as a professor at the Istituto Magistrale Bertrando Spaventa during state exams. In it, he did not describe the Abruzzo village in the best light. This visual journey combines tradition and modernity, art and nature, in an affectionate response to Pirandello's words.

A man is immersed in himself.

Before the images disappear

A man walks alone in a desolate and lifeless landscape

A man fall in down...
