Phantom
Directed by Gabriele ManzoniItaly 2024
Runtime 18'
Leonardo is an introvert and a loner; his only obsession, his Phantom F12 scooter. New to the city, he meets Dylan, a charming boy with the same passion for tuning, who seems to truly appreciate him and slowly draws him out of his shell. He embodies everything Leonardo desires for himself: confidence and charisma. After an afternoon with Dylan’s friends, the “associates”, filled with alcohol and techno music, Leonardo finds himself overwhelmed by a sudden turn of events. The spiral of violence and humiliation he ends up in on that winter day will mark his growth and worldview forever.
