A travel diary, an island. A young local man is walking barefoot on the rocks, the thorns, the earth. A girl obsessed with her image on the social media. The filmmaker observes the landscape and reflects on artifice. Upon his return, the city seems like a labyrinth which is forcing him to find a way out and rediscover new perspectives in nature.

Declaration
film director
“I live and record reality, imagining it like a movable play. In the moment, I transcribe or encode those vital signs which can be useful for writing a movie. There is no written story, the film composes itself as it happens. How will it continue? How will I conclude the narration? The work is a crude body, research which becomes cinema. The goal is to rediscover contemporary man as he represents himself in the social media, at his best or at his worst, in a sort of global mise-en-scène. But his mirror is not the screen; instead, it is the body of the Earth, real, complex, and without taboos.”
