FULL MOON LATE

Growing old is an art in itself. How difficult it is to cast off the habits and perceptions of a lifetime to keep up with the demands of a new age. Is everything permitted in the New Age? Can every threshold be crossed? Do the human and ethical values of the individual mean anything? The full moon is as big as an orange. Clouds fleet across its face. People disappear into the distance, suffering and wandering, looking for themselves and the truth about their lives.

TALKING WITH BIRDS

A story featuring a colorful mosaic of characters, light humor and kindness but also painful revelations. It offers a refreshing view of childhood where time and space have different dimensions, where the long summer passes by in a flash and a moment might seem as long and as rich as an entire season and where the imaginary and real worlds are interwoven in a rich and complex unity.

FROM SCRATCH

Adelicate analysis of the movements of human spirit and love between a man and a woman, which has the power to reveal the beauty of the soul from the cradle to the grave. The love theme is developed through the subtle interaction of a number of independent cameos and a variety of characters with almost nothing in common: glimpses of life connected only by the irony of an elderly man, who is in love with a young woman.
