Project Title: BALENTES

Brief Synopsis: Inspired by a true story, the film tells the courageous choice of two boys who, in Sardinia in 1940, on the eve of the Second World War, free a herd of horses destined for the front. An idealistic and rebellious gesture that becomes a symbol of freedom. First animated film. The drawings were made on paper and with a brush by the director himself, with the aim of restoring uniqueness and freedom to the primary and constitutive element of the drawing, the sign, otherwise destined to conform to pre-established models.
