Cadono le mamme

Mums Are Falling

Country: Italy
Year: 2007
Duration: 5'


During a shower of meteorites a young girl learns to confront her fears. The thought of her mother, who fell in a banal bicycle accident, keeps her company on her way home.

“If you think that, at precise instants, there are clusters of thoughts that uselessly circulate between the folds of the soul and laugh-tamers, well, leave them alone, it’s us knocking at the door. Prepare your shoes and gloves, because it’s bleeding out there. Go out with a candle and call to the mothers, they’re up there watering the moon. Do you hear that group, that sound? It’s you, I tell you, it’s you all. In that moment, that interval, that heartbeat, two minutes to six, try to close first your eyes and then your hands, in a time that is different from your usual one.”
