Things That My Best Friend Lost (2024)

A dark night is lit up with the fluorescent colours and metallic sounds of an illegal party. Andrea, the organiser and DJ, confesses his joys and turmoils through a series of increasingly delirious voice messages addressed to someone far away. It is Andrea’s solitary cry for help: as we uncover his relationship with the listening ghost, he narrates his human experiences at the clandestine rave. In a reality where policing and punishment go hand in hand, a party suspended in space and time inflames the city, setting free the bodies we inhabit. In this new day and age can we still find ways to connect with each other or are we alone even when we are together?
