Une Seule Chance
2021 • 9 min • Italy
UNE SEULE CHANCE tells of a group of boys who are about to meet their fate. They are having a heated debate about it, until a man with rough manners sets them straight. What is the last
chance they’re talking about? The short movie plays with the audience and its convictions, with the habit of believing in the world reported in the news. Yet there is more going on, and
everyday life becomes extraordinary and liberating, a different way to talk about integration and inclusion. A simple story that relies on the intensity and quality of performance of the actors, who deceive the audience into believing that things are turning for the worst, while a surprise ending finds the search for happiness in everyday life.
UNE SEULE CHANCE is produced by the ARCA project, realized by PartecipaAzione and Porta Cenere for the City of Mendicino, with the support of the FAMI Fund of the Ministry of the Interior. It stars Mirko Iaquinta, Oumar Al Farouq Sako, Abdoulaye Diallo, Siaka Makassuba, Guiro Balde and Souleymane Traoré. Directed by Mario Massaro, written by Elisa Ianni Palarchio and edited by William Onorato and Fabio Nigro (OnDigitalVideo). The original score is composed by Susan Dibona & Salvatore Sangiovanni. The list of collaborations includes Natale Filice (set dresser), Antonella Carbone (costume designer), Gilda Maria Costabile (makeup) and also Antonio Arena, Matteo Costabile and Lorenzo Vommaro.
