Sinossi / Synopsis
Leon sta giocando ai videogiochi. Dietro di lui, una coppia impacchetta i mobili; si stanno lasciando o un semplice trasloco? Un'inquadratura fissa, un'unica prospettiva che racchiude una storia più complessa di quanto sembri. Una piccola chicca da una giovane regista cilena che è meglio non perdere di vista.
Leon is playing with videogames. Behind him, a couple are wrapping up furniture; are they separating or are they just moving? A fixed frame, a single perspective enclosing a story that is more complicated than it seems. A gem by a young Chilean director to keep an eye on.
Note di regia / Director's Statement
"Leon is playing the role of a kid playing tennis while his family seems to fall apart. Videogame are six minutes of an afternoon. I was interested in the children's point of view on that last family day, distant and fragmented, while giving their back to the reality leaving it outside of the frame and preferring the virtual instead."
