LA PIEDAD
di Eduardo Casanova
Nazione: Spagna, Argentina
Anno: 2022
Durata: 84'


Lili e suo figlio Mateo sono legati da un profondo rapporto di reciproca dipendenza. Immersi in un universo chiuso e dai colori rosa pastello, s’abbandonano alla loro soffocante realtà, in cui è la madre a gestire le giornate del figlio e a stabilire i limiti della sua libertà. Finché un giorno a Mateo viene diagnosticata una malattia mortale e da quel momento l’idea di una possibile separazione sviluppa in entrambi una versione oscura e tossica di sé stessi. Nel frattempo, in Corea del Nord una coppia perseguitata riesce a lasciare il Paese. Una volta raggiunta la libertà, però, marito e moglie decidono di tornare indietro, convinti che l’impero comunista sia il miglior posto dove vivere.
