Bea is a woman in the midst of a personal crisis who is forced to leave the big city and move back to the country house where she was born, and where her brother and sister still live in abject poverty. She takes care of the farmhouse’s animals and garden with her sister Emi, while their brother Franco works at a nearby breeding farm. When Bea invites them to change their lifestyle, she comes into direct conflict with Franco, who is slowly revealed to be quick-tempered and cruel. Bea discovers that her two siblings share the same ambiguous inclinations, and more than one secret. She also finds out that the most dangerous secret of all still lingers around them.
Biography
film director
Francesco Barozzi
Francesco Barozzi (Modena, Italy, 1982) directed many shorts that were selected by various independent film festivals around the world. He then won the Wild Card Italia section at the Overlook Film Festival in Rome with the film Tempo Vivo Tempo Morto (2014), a no-budget self-production signed with Nicola Xella. He is part of the Sisma Emilia collective with other authors from Emilia Romagna; in 2014, they created Tellurica - Racconti dal cratere, an episodic feature-length film on the tragedy of the recent earthquake. His contribution to the film is titled Anniversario, starring Beatrice Schiros and Roberto Herlitzka. The Last Night is his new feature film.

Declaration
film director
“I want to make every single scene memorable […]. The Last Night must have its own personality […]. Aesthetics are fundamental, but trying to keep the tension in the story as high as possible remains the most interesting challenge. Looking too much in the mirror is risky; you have to watch from the eyes of the audience. Before shooting every scene, I would think about what would capture their attention and keep them inside the story.”
