MACCHIE DI SOLE

SUNSPOTS

Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Duration: 17'


On the beach in a small town on the coast of Lazio, 12-year-old
Adriana starts a strange game with little Tommaso, a reflection
of the innocence she is soon to lose.

Macchie di sole is an open story. I wanted to let the spectators enter
a universe in which they are free to interpret, to construct hypotheses.
A space in which the action isn’t unambiguous, but rather wends
its way among facts and situations that create an enigmatic and
suspended atmosphere. I tried to reduce the expressive force of the
actors to a minimum, subordinating verbal language to body language.
Bodies and faces are the primary vehicles of this story.”
