The Idea
In production
A man ready to leave seems unable to leave his room to reach the adjacent train station. The very short journey turns into a dreamlike journey through fears, expectations and missed opportunities. The departure of the last train causes an abrupt return to reality, in which the protagonist's very existence is called into question.
The short pays homage to the work of David Lynch and the poetics of Luigi Pirandello. The entire film is made in stop motion – puppet
animation with digital animation inserts. Filming wrapped in March 2024 and we expect a release in May 2024.
The film was made thanks to the contribution of MiC and the Film Commission Campania. Nano Film and Control Zeta Lab yes
