Vale - L'ultimo incontro (2022)

Valeria is in the ring for the last fight of her professional boxing career. She has always been a warrior, in childhood games as in the tragic battle fought as an adult, for the right to assisted suicide of her lifelong partner, Fabiano, who was blind and quadriplegic after a car accident. While fighting in the ring, his words tell us about the unpredictable upheaval of two lives, the sacrifice of the years of care, the sliding towards the end. The match continues, the fatigue grows, the gestures slow down, merging with the story told by Valeria, more and more raw and direct. We discover the anger that still animates her in the face of the other loss of her life: the sudden suicide of her father, intertwined and yet opposed to the end of her partner's life. The meeting is about to end, every punch, every movement weighs, time expands, clarity vanishes. Only the pain and anger of two such different losses remain in the ring, and the mystery of what it takes for a human being to endure them.
