Quando l'universo avrà fine

Directed by Enzo Piglionica

SYNOPSIS

A man and a woman are forced to stop because of a broken down car, under the gaze of the full moon, in a dark and sunny metropolitan suburb. Closed in their microcosm where they feel safe and protected from the unknown world made up of lampposts and car lights passing by in the distance, the two find themselves talking about a dream and confronting the divine nature of humanity but above all with the abyss of the soul. A small allegorical film that aims to be a reflection on a society increasingly distant from a collective vision, in which the individual has lost the spiritual dimension and the confrontation with otherness and “the other” is no longer the space to recognize oneself but it becomes alienation, an enemy, no more words, no more understanding, a man pointing a gun in your face. A weapon aimed at God, oneself and the spectator humanity.
