THE TASTE OF ZERO is the silent diary of a young Italian man growing up in the 90s. American horror cinema has a great influence on him. He dreams of shooting the remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" by Tobe Hooper in the countryside of Settignano, a small village on the outskirts of Florence. Shot with a VHS-C camera in 1995 and edited in 2024, this film tells and documents the artistic imagination of a teenager before the 2000s. The film gradually becomes an investigation into the meaning and origin of human and animal life.
