If I Were a Man (2022)

Directed by Rocco Anelli

Drama · 15m

Trapped in a transparent cage, four characters perform their empty, ritualistic actions, staging an endless hunt, synonymous with feelings that are now dead. Michele, the puppet son of a declining nobility, manipulates and commands his fictitious bourgeois friends, Ettore and Leo, to avenge the love of Mariagrazia, which has now faded away. In this eternal hunt, each character pursues their own authentic existence, which eludes them with terrifying ease. Thus, their entire lives become empty, similar to that of objects. Only a cruel glimmer of honesty can shake the golden cage, whose walls have been too thick to be demolished until now.
