SYNOPSIS 

This is the staging of some poems chosen from the collection of the same name by Christian Covarelli, a young poet from Perugia who died in 2004. Up to this date, his writings remain unpublished. The film unfolds in a dream dimension, in which images and words, music and sounds, mix without necessarily narrative or organic structure, preferring rather a status of real visions. Five moments for five poems, plus a final one, written in black and white (which is not part of the writer’s collection but of his autobiographical tale “Vuoto a perdere”, also unpublished), which culminates in a climax between verses ; those who appear one after the other and go to read, and those, indecipherable, who listen to each other.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE 
Paying homage to the verses of an almost unknown poet, in the hope that a complete publication of his work will finally materialize.
