Nel gorgo
by Dario Buzzolan
Country: Italy
Year: 1993
Duration: 17'
Turin, August, 1993. A man takes a lodging in the Hotel Roma on Piazza Carlo Felice. And there, alone in Room 313, he waits for a visit. He slowly falls asleep and is waken up by a presence. There is a woman in front of him who has appeared almost out of nothing. From the dialogue that follows, we find out that she is a topical figure of art and literature and he is an illustrious man "who comes back". He has returned to repeat, as in a ritual, the same gestures of forty years before.
