EXCLUSIVA: Primeros clips de Sulla terra leggeri, de Sara Fgaier, que competirá en Locarno

por Cineuropa

19/07/2024 - La ópera prima de la cineasta italiana se pregunta qué ocurre si olvidamos al amor de nuestra vida y, a la inversa, qué pasa si ellos nos olvidan a nosotros

Sulla terra leggeri, de Sara Fgaier

Este artículo está disponible en inglés.

Gian, a 65-year-old ethnomusicology professor, fights the darkness caused by the sudden onset of amnesia. Flashes of the past, which blend with hazy archive footage, haunt his mind like a phantasmagoria of images. Despairing, Gian tries to end things, but he fails. In the aftermath, Miriam (30), the daughter he does not recognise, moves into his apartment with her son Elyas (5). She helps him find a diary written in his twenties that revolves around Leila, a girl with whom he discovers love in the space of one night. This emotion exacerbates Gian’s pain but pushes him to salvage his memory. Who is this woman who was so important in his life? What happened to her? How is it possible that he forgot? Gian’s unmoored present-day life is gradually replaced by the vivid images of that past. He will be able to find himself again and to experience a revelation. What is the mechanism that moves our memories? What happens if we forget the love of our life? And, conversely: what if they forget us?
