Isabella Morra

2016 · 22 min

A quiet, fragmentary art-film collage that drifts between children's voices and distant history, asking patience and offering little resolution.

Isabel Pagliai

Here, Adriana recounts, Camille grumbles, and Océane strives to declare her never-ending discourse to her doll. The trace of a program, or, on the contrary, the hope of a possible emancipation?
