In a moment of deep crisis, I decided to recover to ease my pain. Sharing my thoughts and channeling them into a concrete product helped me make sense of my suffering.

Belonging Syndrome is a short documentary that follows Duang, a second-generation Italian-Thai girl. Duang, during a period of stay in a monastery. Through her inner diary, the film explores a suspended phase of life: the one in which identity it is not yet defined and belonging becomes an open question. The monastery becomes the physical and symbolic place where Duang observes herself. Immersed in a daily life marked by rituals, silences and repeated gestures, the protagonist goes through an experience of deep listening, in which time slows down and perception is refined. Belonging Syndrome talks about hybrid identities, cultural legacies that coexist without completely merging, the difficulty and possibility of inhabiting multiple worlds without having to choose just one. It is an intimate and contemplative story about the search for balance in a fragile and open phase of existence.

Monica and Domenico are a happy couple full of life: they laugh, travel, then get married. A premature birth stops everything. Fears, fragility, depression arise. But Ginevra, even if a wren, manages to grow. The camera guides us on her journey: she lives, and with her her parents. He grows, plays, creates. In his eyes, however, there is a secret, a widening fracture. No one sees her. In adolescence many questions, difficulties and pain. Only by retracing the past will the adult be able to give shape to the pain and find an answer.

A teenager disowns her parents while they are on vacation, but the reunion of her childhood shoes will lead her to meet her childhood self and see the world from a different perspective.
