pluto (or: how I learned NOT to stop worrying and NOT to love the bomb)

directed by Renzo Carbonera | 2022 / 75′

a man seeks refuge in the mountains, surrounded by the remnants of the world wars fought over the past hundred years. As we gradually enter his life, and his past, we descend with him into a spiral of memories, visions, reality, and madness. Imagination turns into hallucination, and this man’s life becomes a metaphor for the sword of Damocles we have chosen to hang above our own heads. Will we evolve beyond the nuclear Anthropocene or will we perish with it?

with Andrea Pennacchi, Sara Lazzaro, Leda Kreider, Jenni-Lea Jones
