Italian Contest – Feature Film

Brief Synopsis:

Ivan is a musician, blind from birth, who lives in Berlin. He returns to his hometown, Napoli, to undergo a final series of genetic tests that will determine whether he is eligible for an experimental surgery that could give him sight, but he must also come to terms with the awareness of a hypothetical future in color and the consciousness of a past made of sounds and shadows. Before opening the test results, Ivan sets off on a reflective journey into the soul of Napoli and the meaning of inclusion, retracing, anecdotally, fragments of his own life.

Director’s Notes:

 From my point of view stems from the desire to explore how we perceive reality. Through Ivan, blind since birth, the docufilm follows a pivotal moment: the possibility of gaining sight. A profound transformation that raises questions about identity, autonomy, and society’s relationship with diversity. The documentary also has an educational dimension, highlighting recent advances in the treatment of genetic eye diseases. Its immersive approach aims to convey Ivan’s sensations and challenge the viewer’s preconceptions.
