Synopsis

Filippo Ticozzi documents life during the spring of 2020, when strict quarantine measures confine millions to their homes. Using a static camera, he records a video diary that captures his existential thoughts and the mundane tasks required for survival. As he navigates his own discomfort, the film reflects the anxiety and boredom of isolation. Rumors from radio and television amplify the sense of impending change, creating a philosophical essay on the human condition amid a global crisis.
