Measurements

SYNOPSIS

A couple's drama unfolds in the claustrophobic rooms of their small flat. He measures her every day, diligently noting every slightest change in her body. The trauma survives even after her rebellion.

Director's statement

"Measurements" is a dramatic short film, the first of a trilogy I am developing on the female body. The topicality and universality of the themes addressed (body shaming, power imbalances in male-female relationships, psychological abuse, eating disorders), both stemming from the experiences of women close to me and derived from my past work as a model scout in the fashion industry, have determined the terms of an urgent sharing.
