Little Swallow / Rondinella

Après avoir perdu sa maison dans un incendie, Sofia loge à l’hotel Rondinella, où elle partage la chambre avec sa mère Carla. L’accident a accentué les désaccords entre la mère et la fille. Sofia rêve de partir pour recommencer une nouvelle vie, tandis que Carla s’accroche à la mémoire du passé.

“There are events in life, such as a death, a departure, a marriage, or a new job, which mark the beginning of a phase and which can bring two people closer or further apart. Rondinella is the story of a separation between a mother and a daughter, but also the sweet and clumsy attempt to rebuild a relationship with the love that binds them. It is the passage from one age to another, from one role to another: while becoming an adult is a process that can be disorienting, seeing one’s children grow up is equally difficult for parents.” Nikita Merlini
