Lorenzo Pallotta

It is the early afternoon of a summer day in the 1990s. While their parents are asleep, Lotti and Malibù (nicknames the sisters use for each other) decide to sneak out to a local bar—a spot frequented by the boy they both have a crush on. Puca, the youngest, insists on coming along, threatening to wake their parents with her screaming if they refuse. The three girls set off; as they pass the beach, Puca wanders toward the water’s edge and claims to have seen a mermaid. Once at the bar, the older sisters—preoccupied with their adolescent moods—lose sight of Puca. A search ensues, leading to a confrontation that clears the air between them, followed by a fleeting glimpse of the mermaid diving and vanishing beneath the waves; that image makes them realize their childhood is gone forever. The unexpected happens when they return home to alert their parents…

A story about old town residents guarding their homes, and their attachment to their land. A reflection on human nature and emotions

Alessio is a thirteen-year-old boy affected by Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD). Running away from home, he takes shelter in a place far from the city and the people: nature is the safest heaven.

What would it be like to become an animal? And would this transformation also bring relief? While we watch flickering shots of nature and people, someone speaks of sentiments, memories, and fears. With the aid of an unsettling music score director Lorenzo Pallotta crafts what might essentially be described as an adventurous atmosphere, nevertheless, his exploration of mysterious places and deep-seated feelings is dominated by a sense of melancholy and, at times, an almost depressing uncertainty. And the deliberate vagueness of the entire film, coming from several directions, creates an irresistibly enigmatic mood.

Antarctica (1988): a ship must escape from the grip of the ice to reach Terra Nova Bay. The Italian icebreaker Laura Bassi, in 2023, follows the same route and reaches the southernmost point on the planet ever reached by a ship.
