LA VALIGIA || Stop Motion Short Film

An old man is sitting on the edge of a bed in a bare room with stoned walls, his face furrowed with deep wrinkles and his unkempt beard, gnarled hands still full of life, curved shoulders: he is alone and thoughtful. A small and ramshackle window with bars is the only outlet to the outside. In front of him he has a mysterious suitcase. Opening it the man finds himself in his hands the photographs and the personal effects of a whole life. Thus begins the sequence of memories and visions, synapses of the mind that come to life and invade the room of the elderly bringing him back in time, first adult then boy, finally child.

He was safe and yet could only see the world from depression. Having worked in hospice .Elderly patients , many came from well to do homes, full lives , professionals, yet dementia colored their world as this man was seeing. Unless family or friends involved him in their lives this was their experience

[@miriamkelly3106]

Wow. This gives greater insight into the mind/eyes of those suffering. Thanks for expounding.

[@christinebolly3034]

On peut toujours sortir et profiter de la vie. Lasciare schivolare la parte piu difficile.

[@Toqueville2023]

these videos are amazing. How the texture of the cloth and his hair ..all the details are a mystery of the art. I can only imagine the time and thought went into producing this. It' s not something taken on lightly for the devotion required. Excellent job!

[@pyrettablaze0414]

An old man let his life slide by….only too late for his memories. 😔 Very Deep!

[@Toqueville2023]

This story should be told again and again. This was my 4th or 5th time and it's well worth multiple views

Dal doppiaggio alla storia alle musiche all'animazione... magnifico! ottimo lavoro!

Bravo - very very very cleverly conceptualised and executed - just wonderful.

Wonderfully executed. Terrifying, yet poignant .

Finalmente ho potuto rivedere questo piccolo gioiello. Non l'ho più visto da quella volta alla Cineteca di Bologna per il festival Visioni Italiane 2015. Bellissimo. Complimenti Studio Croma!

I don't even speak Italian but I ENJOYED it. It was well done. Actually some of the words you can catch and the subtitles make it understandable. The mood of the man communicates what the real meaning is ...

Uno dei corti animati in stop motion più belli che io abbia mai visto. Mi ha fatto emozionare

[@ospitefisso9582]

Oh Gesù, ma allora anche in Italia esistono i geni dell'animazione! Una curiosità: avete usato la stop motion tradizionale con pupazzi che si muovono di volta in volta o vi siete avvalsi anche del digitale?

[@mohamebahmed-ti3gl]

Bello bello ma qualcuno mi spiega il finale?al netto della malattia mentale,i deliri, il suicidio, perché la scena del finale è in una casa?🤔

[@claudelaroche4069]

Parce que tout au long du film nous sommes dans sa mémoire ou dans sa représentation du monde. Ce n'est pas le monde réelle. Ce n'est qu'à la fin du film que l'on voit sa véritable chambre. Ce monsieur est Alzheimer, sa vie réelle est une prison , une chambre de plus en plus délabrée. Et c'est remarquable que ce film s'arrête comme l'horloge s'arrête.
