14° FESTIVAL INTERNAZIONALE CINEMA GIOVANI
Italian Competition 1996 - Non Fiction
FACEVO LE NUGATINE
by Adonella Marena
Country: Italy
Year: 1996
Duration: 16'
For the first time in twenty years, Walter revisits his old, longsince abandoned candy factory. He takes a solitary walk through the immense factory sheds, machinery and forgotten objects as his memory restores life and energy to voices, presences and sounds of a past that had promised him much. There were the 1960's, his first work and the faith in the production. The telling of the story is punctuated by pieces of old commercials and runs the gamut of different atmospheres, from joy to nostalgia, to confusion.
