Misure

Measurements

ITALY / 20 MIN. / 2025 / FICTION / DCP 2K / 2.39:1 / STEREO / COLOR

Subtitles in English, Spanish, Italian, French
In the claustrophobic confines of a small apartment, a couple’s drama of control and co-dependence unfolds. Misure (Measurements), loosely inspired by real events, is a searing look at body shaming, psychological abuse, and the destructive breakdown of intimacy.
Her body is the silent protagonist, meticulously measured by Him after every meal—a daily ritual of oppression where the measuring tape becomes a chilling symbol of his power. The film tracks a single day, from breakfast to dinner, witnessing Her journey from manipulation to a desperate, food-fueled rebellion. Yet, this is more than a story of escape. Through a crescendo of tender and then profoundly disturbing imagery, we retrace Her path to discover that the trauma, like a scar, survives long after He is gone. This is a story about the lasting wounds of psychological control.
Un drama de control y codependencia de pareja en los confines de un claustrofóbico departamento. Misure (Medidas), inspirada libremente en hechos reales, es una mirada mordaz al ‘body shaming’, el abuso psicológico y el colapso destructivo de la intimidad. 
Su cuerpo es el protagonista silencioso, medido meticulosamente por Él después de cada comida, un ritual diario de opresión donde la cinta métrica se convierte en un escalofriante símbolo de su poder. Un solo día, desde el desayuno hasta la cena, siendo testigos desde la manipulación a una desesperada rebelión alimentada por la comida. Sin embargo, esta es más que una historia de escape. A través de un crescendo de imágenes tiernas y luego profundamente perturbadoras, descubrimos que el trauma, como una cicatriz, sobrevive mucho después de que Él se haya ido. Esta es una historia sobre las heridas duraderas del control psicológico.

Marta's bio

Marta Capossela is a screenwriter, director, and literary translator. She holds a PhD in Slavonic Studies (University of Pisa), where she defended a thesis on the screenwriting work of Russian formalist Viktor Shklovsky. She later taught Russian at the University of Salerno. In 2017, she earned an MA in Russian Literature from Saint Petersburg State University with a thesis on the influence of Italian Neorealist cinema on the prose of Rid Grachev. With several years of international experience, Capossela has lived and worked in Saint Petersburg, Siberia, Tbilisi, Tallinn, and Switzerland. Her work moves fluidly between literary and cinematic writing. She co-wrote the short films Ronzio and Piccoli Passi, and worked as assistant director on Viola (2024). Her directorial debut, Misure (2025)—winner of numerous awards, ranking as the most widely selected Italian short film of 2025—marks the first chapter of a trilogy on the female body. Capossela has been selected for several development programs, including Sentiero Film Lab, OfficineFare Cinema (under the artistic direction of Silvio Soldini), HerArts Film Lab 2024, ShorTS Development & Pitching Training, and the Adriatic FF 2025 Pitching Contest, where she won the Best Pitch Award. She is currently developing the next two parts of the trilogy: the short film "Through the Clouded Glass" and her first feature, "FAME".
