Terremoto – LaTestuggine

"Terremoto" is a short film by Massimiliano di Lauro and Lorenzo Latrofa
Produced by Alessandro Borrelli for La Sarraz Pictures

"A journey into a child deepest emotions that,
like the bowels of the earth, sometimes begin to tremble."
“Earthquake” is a child who struggles more than others to channel his exuberance and for this very reason he got this nickname.
It was given to him by his teacher because, like an earthquake, sometimes his anger explodes uncontrolled and irrational, leaving obvious marks as it passes.
Precisely the parallelism with the telluric phenomenon will lead us on a journey through the child's feelings and emotions, starting from what happens before the earthquake until its manifestation and the destruction it leaves behind.
We will go into the bowels of the earth, into the depths of Earthquake's soul and we will get in touch with the origin of these primordial impulses.
We will embark on a journey that seeks to deepen this fundamental stage of growth in which the child experiments with emotions, trying to transform them into feelings that are codified and understandable to all. Earthquake struggles to be what everyone else would like him to be. This is his story.
