"Buio" is the first film contribution made during the course of the theatrical training project "Scenari Futuri" that Fort Apache Cinema Teatro conducts inside Velletri Prison from 2020 with the support of Regione Lazio, in collaboration with IISS Cesare Battisti - Velletri - Prison Section.
A group of men have lived for a long time inside a submarine, in a post-war and post-apocalyptic scenario in which they have lost memories and their relationship with the terrestrial world. Through metal nets that they throw into the water, these survivors collect scraps, semi-destroyed objects of the land, they don’t recognize them, the names and functions, but they jealously keep them in the submarine’s warehouse, catalogued by shape, colour and characteristics. They document everything in a great secular book, in the hope that one day, through associations and assemblages, they will be able to remember. "Buio" is a journey into the darkness of the abyss between the black holes of the memory and the desire for a future, in search of salvation.
