Winter Sea

Category: Narrative Short 25 min : 00 sec
Director: Erika Tasini

"Summertime, and the living is easy" These are the first words ELLEN, 22, speaks, or rather sings, in 'Winter Sea'. They express her profound longing for an escape, a way out and freedom: everything she unconsciously desires, but is still unable to pursue. Reality, though, differs quite substantially from the lyrics: she sings on a cold Winter night, and her life is dominated by the intense bonds which link her to her family. 'Winter sea' revolves around Ellen's intimate relationship to her brother, which is threatened when an unexpected guest shows up for dinner at their eccentric mother's house. In the course of the night, Ellen is confronted, for the first time, with everyone's simultaneous demands on her as well as her own secrets, unveiled, leading her to discover that what she really needs is to make a decision for herself.
