Over the Easter weekend, I'm catsitting with Chiara, my best friend. One day, she confided in me about a moment of vulnerability, and I told the story as if she had lived it dressed as a panther — as if I could only see her as strong. This film is a way of looking at her differently: a moment to take stock, a search for meaning around love in our lives as young women, shaped by calls to emancipate ourselves and by blurry points of reference.

Durante il weekend di Pasqua, faccio da catsitter con Chiara, la mia migliore amica. Un giorno mi ha confidato un momento di vulnerabilità, e io l’ho raccontato come se lo avesse vissuto travestita da pantera. Come se potessi vederla solo forte. Questo film è un modo per guardarla diversamente: un bilancio, una ricerca di senso dell’amore nelle nostre vite di giovani donne, tra spinte all’autonomia e punti di riferimento incerti.
