    Tinnitus#3

    Italia | 2025 | 6’40’’ – Anteprima italiana

    An introspective journey into troubled thoughts. A sleep always interrupted in search of a breath of peace, a whisper to life that has the eyes of death in front of a mirror. A struggle between anxiety, restlessness and calm, evoked by the music composed by Claudia Ferretti and Piero Modena. The mix of animation techniques stays coherent with the idea of the uncertainties of dreams.
