In this semi-autobiographical short, a 13-year-old Bernardo receives a video camera from his father and begins documenting their family vacation. As he uncovers his father's betrayal of his stepmother, Bernardo and his stepmother, inspired by Greek tragedies, plot a revenge, blurring the lines between reality and fiction.

 

Insieme Insieme
Bernardo Zanotta | 2022 | 37’

Set in the Italian lake region, the film follows a mysterious trio—Isabella, Cecilia, and Rafael—who, during their perpetual vacation, kidnap an innocent tourist. The trio creates a parallel world in their apartment, disconnected from reality. As external pressures mount, their constructed life begins to crumble.
