The story of this documentary starts from the dolls.
Objects, things, toys, more or less old, more or less
treated, unkempt, or naked, made of netting or of plastic.
Dolls that sometimes live in the living rooms or in
bedrooms of old ladies. Dolls that look at you and stare.
Dolls that feel, in silence, your presence.
And are these dolls to symbolically represent, by their
presence, the deepest and surreal sense of the old-age;
peculiar condition of space/border, social and existential
passage of life in a time that it becomes "duration".
The dolls are also the two main characters of this story.
Women, who become older, seem like dolls with their
glance. Eyes deep, detached and ironic, sometimes
inscrutable. With that look sad and disillusioned seems to
tell us that they were young women.
They make us enter into the condition of “old age”, the
last part of the journey that each of us, inevitably, must
do. A scary journey that, as a serious illness, evokes in
our mind, in our western culture, the idea of death. We
are missing the meaning of the old age. Because we lack
the ability to live life in all its phases, especially in the “old
age”, at that time when we should be free at last from
fear.
