ASPETTANDO IL TRENO

An elderly woman is making coffee while a man sleeps restlessly. The man wakes up. He runs in vain to catch a train that speeds away. He wants to leave, to flee: he relives his suicide – his obscure illusion – he mimes it repeatedly. Other trains pass — in vain.

An elderly woman is making coffee while a man sleeps restlessly. The man wakes up. He runs in vain to catch a train that speeds away. He wants to leave, to flee: he relives his suicide – his obscure illusion – he mimes it repeatedly. Other trains pass — in vain. Then the noise of time is drowned by silence — the white, pure light of two waiting spirits. Together they try a dance step: they are youth and old age embraced to one another. Finally, when tenderness is no longer opposed by obsession, she leaves. He continues to sleep but no longer dreams.

Into a seedy room, there is a gold-plated watch. It is decorated with the small statues of a satyr, an angel and two couples of lovers. The engine driver lives and works in the clockwork. He’s a lonely person who works hard until a silver woman appears from a bright loophole. They fall in love at first sight, they dance, until they melt together, changing the material of the clock, which becomes a perfect union of silver and gold. The angel exults in glory and time stops.

SYNOPSIS

One after the other, the images from movies that have made the history of the cinema slowly appear on the screen divided into three rows of four frames each. They all have something in common. So the screen is divided into twelve screens each showing a film and all ending at a specific moment. This short was produced without a budget simply because there was no need for one: it is a project by the author and his PC.
