On her last day behind the diner counter, Sara is preparing to leave her small town. Denis watches her, trying to hold on to what they both fear losing. In a crystallized and suspended landscape, their farewell reveals the depth of their bond and the poignant intensity of their separation.
Nella sua ultima giornata al bancone della tavola calda, Sara si appresta a lasciare la provincia. Denis la osserva, tentando di trattenere ciò che entrambi temono di perdere. In un paesaggio cristallizzato e sospeso, il loro addio rivela la profondità del loro legame e la struggente intensità del distacco.

Press - Interviews & Reviews

Review – Quinlan: “Restare si tramuta in un duetto quasi muto, in un campo controcampo in cui i due personaggi combattono una battaglia interiore con loro stessi per cercare di essere insieme nel quadro, consapevoli di quanto fuggevole sia ciò che stanno vivendo, e di come le loro vite si separeranno, forse per sempre”.

Interview to Fabio Bobbio & Zelia Zbogar – Ciak Magazine: “una storia intima, delicata e universale di partenza e distacco”.

Review by Taxi Drivers: “un film di silenziosa intensità, in cui le immagini e l’atmosfera trasmettono il carico emotivo più delle parole o della trama. La sua bellezza risiede in ciò che sceglie di non dire e non vedere, affidandosi al pubblico per leggere tra i silenzi”.
