MISTRAL – Original Soundtrack

WATCH IT ALL ON RAIPLAY!

A man goes to work and sees a boat for sale. He dreams of leaving his life behind. He leaves, and the dream gives way to memory, the mistral forces him to a makeshift landing. A woman, another story, a new beginning? As in an Escher drawing, everything starts again where it seemed to have ended.

The film won the David di Donatello as best short film and it is in the running for the 2023 Academy Awards.
