    Kirpianuscus

    a relation

    A young couple in a new house. He is passioned by study of insects. She, remaining alone, discovers a box and its provocative content - a mantra religiosa . The insect becomes source of fear, fascination, best companion , motif of fear when the box is empty and, in some measure, inspiration.

    The atmosphere , image and acting as essential pillars of an ambitious project just well done , pretty fascinating for old flavors of great Gothic stories, for use of light and for the cultural references.

    The scene of murder is more than intense.

    In short, one of inspired short films , using ordinary facts from near reality and giving them new provocative senses.
