Meseret

Italy, 2021, 17’

« Meseret is a film about Agnese’s best friend, who was born in Ethiopia and was adopted by an Italian family when she was a child. Protected by the intimacy of wild nature, the two friends go deep into the woods and climb vertiginous rocks while the artist narrates the story of Meseret’s recent reconnection with her biological parents. The narrative unfolds in a multilayered tone, which implies the colonial ties between Italy and Ethiopia, as well as the sincere trust of a close friendship. »
