Shooting
with closed circuit cameras the film tells the story of a young woman,
Saskia,
lives in an industrial town. Her life is empty and depressing. She
begins
thinking about the idea of existence
and
consciousness. From that moment she will start to suffer from
terrifying
hallucinations, which will take her to a brutal suicide.
"Hate
me, as a request towards ourselves, a kind of selfdestruction.
This short
film tells a story of self-destruction, not intended as a psychic
pathology,
but as something chosen intentionally. Saskia, the protagonist of this
story,
decided to live in a big industrial town and, in order to earn money to
survey,
she accepts, every day, several degradations and defeats, the most
violent of
which is loneliness […]. This project is developed on a
criticism of
contemporary life and of the consequent sensation of emptiness created
in those
who experience it every day. The story is written in a style inspired
by
Japanese manga, where demons live and operate in daily framework, as
work or
school." (K.
