The rocks and the sea while on vacation in the Aeolian islands, the suspended time of the Apulian countryside, the faraway perspective of a girl following her image on the social networks, the closeup perspective of a black immigrant welcomed into a home. After L’uomo doppio, an intimate diary written by Terlizzi as he films everyday, existential glimpses of life, as though they were the heart of a labyrinth without walls, in which the observer pauses, serene and slightly amazed.
Dentro di te c'è la terra

The story of a young student in the South of Italy, his trip during the night, by feet, from the native village to the City, a long coming-to-age itinerary that will lead him to discover his familiy's secret story and free him from fears.

«Destroy your ego» states writing on a wall left by a friend who died in tragic circumstances. The sentence triggers a thought process in the author’s mind, Cosimo Terlizzi, leading him to delve deep into himself. His thoughts are registered as in a spontaneous diary made of a couple’s life, voyeurism, constant geographical changes, multi media betrayals and book readings. The collected traces take him to discover the lights and shadows of his personality. What emerges is man’s dual nature, divided between instinct and morality.

The dressing rooms appear as the other side of the stage: an intimate place where actors free themselves from their masks.
