IL CONGEDO

Director: Edoardo Winspeare
Duration: 14 min
Production year: 2019
Country of Production: Italy

A man is dying, his beloved wife is at his bedside. Life abandons the body of the husband, the woman despairs. But life goes on: on one hand we see the daily life of a Salento village with its people, their rituals, the different generations, on the other one we stay together with a family, in its darkest hour, preparing for the funeral vigil. Is it the subjective look of a soul leaving from its mortal existence or an objective and lovely look at the humankind, full of beauty and simplicity?
