Friddo e Famme - Cold and Hunger (2023)

"Friddo e Famme" describes and recounts the despair of an actor, dealing with the abuse, frustration and humiliation to which Ciro is forced to endure in order for the people around him to recognize acting as a job, which is instead continually belittled. The heart of the short film is the description of his failures and at the same time of his obstinate need to face all this in order to realize his dream. All the negative aspects of his life disappear, however, when the actor is finally in his own world, in his natural habitat. His eyes shine, they have a unique light. His heart beats fast, he is in love. He has an energy that ignites the moment he steps onto the stage, like a cure, regenerating him. This short film is a tribute to the actors and all the performers in the show, who already suffer in their usual conditions, but with covid have been definitively devastated. This project is also a tribute to Eduardo De Filippo, to his way of doing theatre, to the love he had for theatre. In fact, there will also be his voice in this exciting short film.
