“Kore”, the Directorial Debut of Fabiana Russo
“Kore” narrates the story of Tommy, returning home after a long absence. He perceives it as a war-torn place, haunted by ghosts, and notably by the presence of a child he has always fled from - his daughter. Reluctant to return, but compelled by his mother's recent passing and his daughter Lea's dependence on him, Tommy faces a poignant reunion. At the funeral wake, a first exchange of glances between father and daughter occurs: for her, it is hope; for him, sheer terror. From this moment, they stand together against the world. They experience intimate situations, from Tommy's failed attempt at braiding his daughter's hair to a game that forces them to look into each other's eyes, learning that coming home is just the first of many steps towards a true return. Produced by Cattive Produzioni, this short film aims to convey the alienating and overwhelming sensation of feeling like strangers – yet intrinsically connected.
