Skotto's (K) teen drama. Forced to grow up and wake up from his dream. He does so with his young friends, beautiful and hopeless, flanked by the shadow of death that watches them and awaits their surrender. A gunshot, the end or a new beginning?
Six claustrophobic minutes, which wrap the gazes of the characters in a cocoon of unresolved feelings, not easy to let go, even unconsciously. Sensations that the spectator's gaze carries with it, like the slime of a snail.
The "silence" is an unsettling choice. There is a desire not to induce emotions and sensations with dialogues and music. Silence enters you inside and you are forced to listen to your own breath and that of those around you. In the silence nestles the rage of a generation. And then the liberating gunshot: the rebellion.
Godard, Bunuel, Fellini but also Van Gogh, Andy Warhol have left an image of the world in the making of the young author who tries to illuminate his own desires.
ELIOTROPIO is the story of generation Z, the story of the "book eaters".
