Earth, wind and water are the dimensions on which this story is based. A woman leads the audience through alleys and canals where different characters live and work: artisans, gondoliers, artists…

This film has been shot for an Investment Bank that works with business and entrepeneurs located in the Venice region. While discussing with Paolo about how to portray Venice it felt natural for us to point our attention to the film support and to the history of films shot in that dreamy city. It was really the innate choice for us to see Venice through the eyes of the celluloid.

A young couples relationship is tested after discovering that they’re waiting for a baby and face each other’s turmoil during one long day.

Is there an alternative to the choices that lead each of us towards a destiny that is already written? Or is destiny only what we have decided for our end? In the words of a poem by Charles Bukowsky (Class), this is the story of that instant, a single moment, in which an intelligent thought gives life to an "absolute truth", that very truth that makes us free individuals capable of defeating death of thought and personal annihilation.

GALL [ NYDIA ] AW21

Nydia is a name which means home, nest, safe place. Not only considering the obvious moment we are currently living, forced in most cases to stay in our homes, Nydia speaks about an inner domain— a private self-planet where all the elements, even when in contrast, need to work together. It’s within this area where we fight the biggest battles, struggling against our demons, our weaknesses, fears and anxiety; but only up until the point where we can face these parts of ourselves, confront them and in a deep way accept them to then evolve with them. Nydia is dedicated to ones personal realm. A vital, intimate, sacred element of our being to take care of.
