Il sorriso del gatto

A close look at reality as it appears on today’s city streets: an image of Western society’s crisis and decline in the wake of globalization. Poverty and wealth, normalization and loss of identity, reality and illusion, a huge fable, a trick, a collective lie: the presentation of daily becomes an ominous metaphor. Like the Cheshire cat’s smile in Alice in Wonderland. The cat confronts her question of which path to take out of the forest with an enigmatic response, “Well, that depends where you want to go.” Off-camera voice by Marco Paolini.
