Peaupulaire
Directed by Ginevra Solaroli

GIFF’24
🏆GIFF.DEBUTS. Best Debut - Experimental

Peaupulaire is above all a journey into the inner self of a 20-year-old girl with all the ambitions and fears of someone that she always has to stage out the best possible version of herself. Drawing clothes gives her the illusion that she can shed skin whenever she feels suffocating in her own. Cinema is a tunnel that connects dreams to reality and once the threshold is crossed, all becomes possible.
