The Last One
Nikita Merlini / Switzerland / 2020 / 15 min.
synopsis
Elena is the last one. Following her brother's departure from Ticino, she remains alone with her mother in their large lakeside house. For her, it is not yet time to go but, already, she is imagining with nostalgia what she will foresake, carried away by her desire for discovery. Nikita Merlini captures the traces of what she leaves behind her in her gentle journey into adulthood.
