About the project

This short movie is part of the INTERDEPENDENCE project. INTERDEPENDENCE is a unique film composed by eleven short-movies directed by selected directors from all around the globe. Started in 2018, the project explore

Olmo, eighty years old, looks out of the window of a building in the suburban area of a city. His eight year old grandson Giulio is reading him an article from the newspaper about melting glaciers, the greenhouse effect, methane and CO2... «What is C-O-2?» asks the child. « Do you remember the carbon dioxide we studied?» says Grandpa. «The one the trees breathe?» asks Giulio. The day after, they’re leaving for a short tour instead of going to school, searching for an old tree.
