Though their father eventually finds them at the park, Selma’s joy quickly fades, leaving the siblings to quietly search for ways to fill the emptiness left by their family’s unraveling bonds.
EARTHQUAKE
Animation dir. by Massimiliano di Lauro, Lorenzo Latrofa I 8 min I Italy
“Earthquake” is a child who struggles more than others to channel his exuberance and for this very reason he got this nickname. It was given to him by his teacher because, like an earthquake, sometimes his anger explodes uncontrolled and irrational, leaving obvious marks as it passes. Precisely the parallelism with the telluric phenomenon will lead us on a journey through the child's feelings and emotions, starting from what happens before the earthquake until its manifestation and the destruction it leaves behind.
