Asceso (Ascended) - Directed by Jacopo Iebba

Project Type: Short Film

Project Title: Asceso (Ascended)

Brief Synopsis: A damned being wakes up in an unknown void, driven by a silent call towards a mountain. Thus begins a delirious and one-way climb, an interior pilgrimage in the obsession of reaching the summit. The climb becomes progressively hallucinatory. Yet the damned does not stop, unable to accept the limit, consumed by the blind ambition of reaching the top. The climax is a mocking revelation: the mountain was not a goal, but a trap. The ascension turns out to be a fall. The ecstasy, condemnation.
