To Norma - A Norma
Réalisation
Carlotta COSMAI, Pedro Pablo HDEO, Maryam SHATER, Michela ZOLFO
The search for a “fabulous creature”, which is said to exist in the waters of Lake Como, leads us to meet Norma, a woman who represents a taboo in the society in which we live. Thus begins a journey towards the deconstruction of our desires, expectations and prejudices, in a reflection on the concept of femininity.
