Rome, April 24 (askanews) – An unprocessed mourning, a repressed pain, can separate, distance, destroy, but there is always a way out. Paolo Costella's film "Story of a Night", in theaters from April 30, with Anna Foglietta and Giuseppe Battiston, tells how a tragedy can break up a united and happy family and how yet another pain can instead be an opportunity to get closer again.
The director explained: “It is the story of a man and a woman overwhelmed by grief, who manage to react thanks to the push of their daughter, first of all, who feels the need to return to life more than them” and Foglietta said: “The personal way of reacting and staying in touch with the person who is no longer there is totally personal and can create disturbance, it can in fact create distance”.
Regarding the collective removal of pain that sometimes occurs in the face of tragic events that do not directly affect us, such as wars, Foglietta said: “I believe that there is a great implosion, people who cannot find an outlet, who cannot find a solution to everything they feel. I speak personally, a year ago I had a very deep crisis because I could not find a meaning to everything I felt, to the inevitable, to the inability to react. It is impossible for me to think that the world is really like this, it is difficult. And I am a structured woman, who has my satisfactions, I have my work, my fortunes. It is our task, our responsibility, also through a film like this, which offers the opportunity to elaborate a taboo that is the taboo of pain”.
