SIDE EFFECT

ide Effect is a short movie almost completely in black and white and the lack of colors has a very strong narrative value: the yellow is the spirit that appears at Sergio during the haunting and that mocks him, leading him to heal a relationship that seemed ruined forever.
The side effect is the whistle that Sergio hears when he shoots. It’s mostly the manifestation of his inner desire of changing life and returning back.

Who is to blame? Who starts everything?


Is the spirit real or is it only a modern Puck who manipulates events and Sergio until he finds the larice? Maybe it’s just an illusion that for a moment colors everything around.
I wanted to narrate a story of reconnection between a father and his daughter that lost but that still love each other.
