The film is shot in a one long-take. To give a more realistic and spontaneous touch to the story I used a hand camera to closely follow my two characters in their space. In particular, there is a moment that distinguishes itself from all the others for its ambition and complexity, in which Jessica's world turns upside down: for these reasons I decided to turn to small, light and easily handleable equipment.
Close-ups and medium close-ups are the mainly used frames, in order to capture the conflicting emotions of mother and daughter. Cinematography embraces cold tones in order to underline both the empty and dry relationship between the two women and the daughter’s impersonal and virtual life.
It is my intention to show these human characters for what they actually are, in both their dramatic and absurd faces: my glance will not be the one of a judge, rather a very empathic one.
