The author, inspired by a fellow cinema student, improvises a mock speech about memories and beliving in ourselves. He recreates a classic influencer-like setup to talk about a special day he remembers dearly, September the 5th, the day he saw the movie "Pahntom of the Paradise", which is also the day he met a special person. Apparently, he's not fond of a guy named Gabriel.

"Volti" uses archival i footage to explore the theme of police brutality and the dehumanization of victims. Through a process of visual transformation, the human faces shown undergo a sort of symbolic castration due to the abuse, losing their humanity and breaking down into expressions of pain. Each face becomes a tragic mask, symbolizing the loss of identity and dignity inflicted by a system that no longer recognizes people, but only objects to control and repress. The film ends with an eerie silence, accompanied by a sequence of images showing faces now dead and devoid of meaning. These faces, stripped of any distinguishing features, merge into a disturbing gallery that represents the final stage of dehumanization: the complete erasure of individuality.
