Attilio works as a necrophore at a hospital. He has an empathetic relationship with corpses, with whom he talks and feels listened to, something he finds very hard to do with the living. This also happens with Lucia, with whom he has been in love for years without being able to declare himself. In the meantime, the pandemic multiplied the number of deaths.

Francesco Rossi (Poggibonsi, Italy, 1994) graduated from the Florence National School of Independent Cinema in 2017 and then directed, when he was not yet 25 years old, A colori and Dirty Sugar Free. Francesco has worked as an executive producer for Sunday Morning with Jane Pauley and as an assistant director for Danielle Arbid’s Passion Simple, presented to the Cannes Festival in 2020. With La stanza più fredda (2021) Francesco Rossi was awarded the Globo D’Oro as best short film.

Filmography: A colori (2017, mlf), Dirty Sugar Free (2020, sf), La stanza più fredda (2021, sf)
