BRIEF PRESENTATION
This short-film is a witty drama-comedy that is focused on love. All characters (two men and two women) are victims of love, but each of them feels love in a different way. The film is a half-serious analysis of love through a non-consequential succession of ironic and paradoxical events. But every event is connected with each other by a hidden plot that will be revealed only in the end.
SYNOPSIS
A nightclub with mysterious logos... a belly dancer playing with some golden veils... two acrobatic barmen...: a man, who looks very nervous, makes a proposal to a woman who’s watching the show with a girlfriend: she will go to bed with him in an hour...
The unusual adventure, described through the protagonist’s memories, will end up in unexpected way.
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
“Love is an obscure and imponderable sensation, by virtue of that even the most foolish actions seem to us reasonable…That is
the reason why I wanted to play with love by writing a story that ranges over various genres, from thriller, to drama film to
grotesque comedy” (A. PROCOPIO).
