The Worst of Me (Il peggio di me) 17’, 2016
Marco, a young chef, can’t get over the end of his relationship with Anna. The advice of his friend and boss is useless: Marco keeps following and stalking his ex-girlfriend and reliving old memories, and the situation worsens when he finds out that she has a new partner.
His obsession makes him more and more disturbed and difficult to be around until he decides to give away Anna’s things and finally accept the end of their love story: will he be able to let her go and prevent anger and pain from getting the best of him?
The film was produced with the Women’s Center of the City of Venice.
