I AM HERE
Experimentalfilm / 2013 / Super 8 - HD / 6’
Rodolfo seems content. He lives in the moment, following the same daily routine, inside the big white-painted house next to the church, the house he grew up in. He sleeps in the same bed, in the same room. His clothes are placed in the same closet, he eats his meals at the same table, he walks the same corridors. Rodolfo is suffering from depression. He has barely left the house in decades, he hasn‘t spoken for years.
