In presence of Elettra Gotti
Fabrizio’s mysterious disappearance sets off a chain of events. On the streets, in the wind farms and in the vast hills of southern Italy, his absence becomes a catalyst for profound changes that send his friends and acquaintances on a journey of self-discovery.
In COMMODO, Elettra Gotti explores the complexities of memory and the shifting dynamics between one’s biological and one’s chosen family. This emotionally charged narrative is a profound exploration of love and loss, and a powerful meditation on the search for truth, community and the longing for connection.
