DIRECTOR’S NOTES
​
With Nel mondo I intend to show in a delicate and direct way the physical and psychological transformations that break into a family when a child is born and a family member disappears prematurely. When I started this project I didn't know what would happen but I felt a strong need to make the autobiographical approach coexist in my expressive and human path with the need to deal with universal aspects of human nature, such as life and death. The birth of my son and the death of my brother were very intense and complicated events, which gave me the opportunity, on the one hand to reflect on myself and on the other to make a film that represents a radical gesture of truth and of poetry towards the viewer.
