Francesca La Scala

Thousands of years after the extinction of the human race on Earth, an astronaut named Gladia lands on the now uninhabited planet. Gladia comes from a distant planet where the last inhabitants of Earth found refuge, before forgetting their home planet forever. She finds an inhabitant, a robot that has inherited all of man's knowledge to evolve and develop consciousness. The two will first fight each other but then realize that they are more similar than they thought.

Short film freely drawn from the life of the Italian poetess Alda Merini specially designed as an installation for the exhibition at the Milano Art Gallery from 24 January to 13 February 2020, in occasion of the 10th anniversary of her death.
