La Scintilla
Italy | 12 min | Other | 2019 | Short Film (Live Action) | Italia
Chiara and Caterina, the 10-year-old twins, live in a countryside house. The garden around their house is the home of many insects on hot summer afternoons. While Chiara is amused by their colours, Caterina chases them to kill them all. After Pietro’s mother’s untimely death, he struggles as a full-time dad but with poor results. To remedy a quarrel he had with Caterina during dinner, he invents a story about the magic of fireflies. These insects shine when they host the souls of people who are gone. While Chiara sees in this story the hope of seeing her mother again, Caterina is cynical and disillusioned. During the night an insect enters the two girls’ rooms.
বাংলা
চিয়ারা এবং ক্যাটরিনা, দশ বছর বয়সী দু'জন যমজ বোন, শহরের পাশেই একটি ঘরে থাকে। তাদের ঘরের পাশের বাগানটি গ্রীষ্মকালে অনেক পোকাকেই আশ্রয় দেয়। যেখানে চিয়ারা তাদের বৈচিত্র্য দেখে মুগ্ধ, সেখানে ক্যাটরিনা তাদের কে মেরে আনন্দ পায়। পেট্রোর মায়ের মৃত্যুর পর সে তার দু'সন্তানকে নিয়ে বেশ বিপদে পড়ে যায়। তাদের দু'জনের মাঝে এই ঝগড়ার উপশম করতে সে জোনাকী পোকা নিয়ে একটি মজার গল্প বলে। সে তাদের বলে যে, এই পোকাগুলো মৃত আত্মার প্রতি সম্মান জানাতে জ্বলে উঠে। চিয়ারা এই গল্পের মধ্যে তার মাকে খুঁজে পাবার আশা পায়। কিন্তু ক্যাটরিনা গল্পটিকে সহজভাবে নেয় না। মাঝরাতে একটি পোকা তাদের ঘরে ঢুকলে শেষ পর্যন্ত কি হয়?

La casa di Chiara e Caterina, due gemelline di 10 anni è circondata da una campagna che nei caldi pomeriggi estivi si riempie di insetti. Mentre Chiara rimane incantata dai loro colori, Caterina li insegue per ucciderli tutti. In seguito alla prematura scomparsa della madre, Pietro si ritrova a fare il papà a tempo pieno ma con scarsi risultati. Dopo aver interrotto un litigio tra le due sorelle, Pietro prova a calmare gli animi inventando una storia sulla magia delle lucciole. Questi insetti brillano quando ospitano le anime delle persone che non ci sono più. Mentre Chiara vede in questa storia la speranza di poter rivedere la madre, Caterina si mostra cinica e disillusa. Nella notte un insetto entra nella
