VESUVIUS

short film / Italy, Poland / 2016

We are going for a trip to Mount Vesuvius accompanied by Japanese actress Tomoko Hayakawa. This is the first meeting with the volcano for both her and ourselves. As she guides us through the breathtaking landscape, she seamlessly weaves in stories from her past films, immersing us in the worlds of „2903” (shot in 2014 in Tokyo) and „Careful with the Sun” (shot in 2015 in Naples). On our way to the crater, she recounts a story in her mother tongue, with which none among the crew are familiar.
