TRE MINUTI A MEZZANOTTE
Country: Italy
Year: 1995
Duration: 12'
Cristina is a beautiful thirtyyearold woman who reads fairy tales for a pay phone service. She is only used to speaking into a tape recorder. Giulio works at night at a printing press. Every night near midnight, he treats himself to a telephone fairy tale a sweet and delicate moment. It is too bad that the voice is recorded on tape. One night the tape gets tangled. Cristina is forced to talk "live," pretending she is on tape. Giulio is listening, and notices that he is talking with a live person. A tie of trusting cooperation and maybe of love is built up between them. Chance has them meet on a bus. Without fairy tales and without dreams, they go away without recognizing each other.
