Director statement
Andrea is an affectionate, sunny and nice child, but something changes in him. He withdraws into himself and faces everything with an apparent tranquility and external superficiality. In the meetings he appears serene, self-confident and does not understand the reason for some things, which he takes for granted.
The figure of Anna is that of a classic sweet and caring mother, apprehensive about what is happening to her son. Try to give Andrea the right help by relying on the judgment of the representatives of two important categories in the society of our century: science and faith. In them, Andrea sees an incomprehensible desire to find an answer to this behavior of his which, subconsciously, he already knows.
The figure of Francesco, the grandfather, an extremely good man and extremely close to his nephew, is the pivot of the whole story. Through his grandfather’s memories, Andrea recalls past moments and clings to them until the last goodbye, when he decides to let him go forever.
