Nota da Realizadora Director’s Statement
When I first thought of the film, I saw the image of a house in the countryside, a safe haven in which to take refuge. In that enchanting place, Giulio and Lia play with their bodies, exploring the fragile boundaries between love, death and violence, trying to find their way into the unknown. Each gives the other what they can give. This encounter pushes them to face their fears and make them grow. Pain is the mysterious force that unites them. The Den is not a concrete and real place, but that space where we go hiding when we don’t feel well. And where we hope someone will come searching for us.
