Vincendo Romano

An ambitious production in which a dystopian world is reproduced, where social differences are emphasized by choices of costumes and scenography. The theme is food, its reuse that generates wealth and conviviality, eliminating differences. The intent of the short is to metaphorically represent how waste, leftovers, can be reborn to new life.

The young Carabiniere Gatta is sent to barracks in the Naples area. It's 1946 and the war is still hanging in the air even if the small community doesn't seem to have been affected that much by it. Even so, certain suspicions take root in the brigadier's mind. The hotel in the town was the setting for unexplained deaths and crimes that had been covered up. Gatta decides to investigate. Fragments begin to emerge, killers and their victims take shape and speak to each other from different times. There's the hotel owner, a grief-striken mother, a weak son and long-suffering sister, an orphan and two woman who were violently killed. Pain, indifference and shame cast a shadow over everything.
