by Stefano Cascili, Fiction, Film diploma SPD, 10’ 16”, 2024
The pain of loss and its effects on memory, imagination and reality are told through a narrative with a mixed format.

A sports story, but more importantly a unique story, that of the Hurricane baseball team, composed of visually impaired players.

A foray into a parallel world parallel world that investigates the conflict between ambition and reality.
