Descripción del producto

“The old man and the wall” is a short film that tells the story of Mimmo, known as Hemingway, and the mural that portrays him. Mimmo's skin, burned and eaten by the sun due to years of hard work in road construction sites in the absence of adequate protective measures, is an allegory of the fatigue and suffering to which one often becomes resistant when working in the sun, in a hot summer, at close range from the hot bitumen that flattens the roads.

It is precisely the mural, with its worn, peeling and sun-faded colors, that will mark a sort of catharsis for Mimmo, recognizing himself in it, in fact, he will not rest until the artist of the opera will not make a single, decisive change: a hat to shield it from the sun's rays.

Objetivos y metas
