Director notes: After the previous choral movie – with an enormous amount of locations, editing cuts and actors – we’ve chosen, to avoid mannerism, to work in a totally new way: a few locations, 3 main characters, quiet rythm, attention to the suggestions and to the atmospheres, with a macroscopic work upon the power of the off-screen. 

The movie adopt a pre-existent genre, and for the first time totally subverts its structural foundations.
