Screenplay: Carlo Migotto, Mattia Coletti
Cinematographer: Nevio De Conti
Editor: Nevio De Conti
Music: Job Roggeven
Producer: Carlo Migotto, Mattia Coletti
Cast: Silvio V.

Synopsis: Silvio has deep, sad eyes that struggle to stay focused. He is soft, gentle, frightened, all-Italian. It wasn’t difficult to persuade him to sit down and express himself. He brought to the table his story – a little, shocking, allegorical fairy-tale of liberation and ruin.
Inhalt: Silvio hat tiefe, traurige Augen, die sich abmühen, konzentriert zu bleiben. Er ist sanft, behutsam, ängstlich und Vollblut-Italiener. Es war nicht schwer, ihn zu überreden, sich zu setzen und über sich selbst zu erzählen. Das ist seine Geschichte – ein kleines schockierendes, allegorisches Märchen von Befreiung und Untergang.
