Leonardo, l'uomo che salvò la scienza

Le favolose

Il disconoscimento della propria identità resta per molte trans una seconda morte, quella della loro memoria. Le famiglie si vergognano e così funerale, cerimonia e tumulazione avvengono in gran segreto tra pochi intimi, frettolosamente manomesse nell’estetica. Sulle lapidi viene stampato il loro nome da uomo, in un’identità che mai più sarà quella da loro scelta durante la loro la vita terrena. È quello che accade ad Antonia, sepolta con il suo nome di battesimo, Giampaolo, nell’indifferenza dei più. Vent’anni dopo, il ritrovamento di una lettera spinge le sue migliori amiche, Porpora e Nicole, a organizzare un ritrovo della Memorabile Famiglia Reale, il gruppo di elette nella sconfinata costellazione trans, per rivivere un’intera giornata tutte assieme nell’appartamento storico, come facevano nei favolosi weekend di molti anni prima.

A Few Stories About a Man

The film is a portrait of Jerzy Orłowski, an armless graphic artist. Impressionistic scenes present the protagonist in various situations: when he has to deal with everyday chores, when he jumps into water, skis and draws. Even the simplest activity requires struggle, resilience and outstanding fitness from him. Many takes are in slow motion, contemplating the smallest detail, which the director is so skilfully able to bring out.
