Antonio 2021

Directed by Emiliano De Martino

A dystopian fairy tale that tells, from the 40s to the present day, about the tenderness of a stillborn human being and the stubbornness dictated by the love of a grandmother. Sweetness and love reverse the succession of events, postponing the obvious consequences of the pathology that holds Antonio prisoner, and creating an unexpected life, told by the subjective eyes of a little puppet of Pinocchio, Antonio’s faithful friend since childhood. That is how a tale of Pinocchio develops, but backwards: a child who turns into a puppet as the disease progresses.
