My research began from the myths of the peasant culture of the country where I have always lived. In various peasant cultures, a hunting technique is adopted which requires the hunter, in order to flush out the prey, to transform himself into the hunted animal. However, the risk of this process of transmutation consists in the possible loss of control which would lead to man becoming totally animal. The questioning of anthropocentrism is the fundamental theme of the film. In this regard, Michelangelo Frammartino, a director with whom I have worked several times, says: “I like filming rituals because they have an iron, flawless script. Cinema is all built on man: language, the scale of shots. When you film something that isn't human, language starts to creak, but so does the device. The device is built in a way that does not require human movement. Moving man is not just a conceptual operation as it becomes necessary to build a new language.”
