Zio Emilio

Uncle Emilio

Giuseppe Maria Piccione / Italy / 2006 / 4 min / Colour


Uncle Emilio, already an old man, has spent his entire life in the mountains. We see him working to clear the field of small branches when he is surprised by a dead tree found among robust ones, suggesting that all living things die, even as life goes on. This is confirmed by a child’s cry and the sound of work being done. Uncle Emilio comes to symbolize existence.
