Synopsis

Bit of Human

Before being, act is free. It implies different possibilities. It constantly sculpts the present. The inner manicheism of human being becomes a dialogue between ancestral counterparts. You are what you do. In facing reality, freedom becomes just an ideal.
 
 
Description
The film analyzes the daily routine of a being separated in two halves. It focuses on the freedom to choose between possibilities, on the rituals of daily surviving in a metropolitan area and on the lack of confrontation in nowadays life.
 
The split screen is used to sustain the scattered main narrative. The synchronization of the images, shot with multiple cameras, echoes the duality of beings and the possible choices.
 
The score as well, reflects the echoing of the days. It’s based on some repeated harmonic-loops, which goes parallel with the repeated actions of the characters. Sound samples from the rushes compose the rhythmic of the music, underlining the environment.
