IN THE BOX (Italy, 2025, 15’) by Francesca Staasch
At the presence of the director and the actor Lino Guanciale
Marco, an ordinary man in his early 40s, Zoe, a 25-year-old, bold young woman, and Laura, an icy and elegant, bourgeois lady in her 50s are trapped in a labyrinth of fragility and inner torment. The film explores the daily toil of living, the themes of loss and emotional isolation, and the quest for solace.
