This short film follows a woman in her early 20s who repeatedly attempts to take her own life for reasons that remain unknown and unexplained.
Each attempt is carried out through everyday, almost banal objects, turning the act itself into a quiet but sharp critique of contemporary consumerism and the empty promises of modern happiness.
The film never searches for psychological explanations. Instead, it observes her routine, her gestures, and the strange mixture of detachment and performance that defines her existence.
The story grows more unsettling as she fails, tries again, and ultimately succeeds — not as a tragic climax, but as the only moment where the logic of her world fully reveals its emptiness.
The project is intimate, minimalist, and visually restrained. It explores themes of identity, social pressure, and the commodification of desire, echoing the critical views of Pasolini while translating them into a modern, digital context.

Description
We are looking for a woman in her 50s with a naturally neutral, everyday appearance — someone who feels authentic, familiar, and unpolished.
Her face should carry a simple kindness, something quiet and unassuming, without dramatic intensity or deep emotional complexity.
The character is meant to embody an ordinary presence: a person we could meet anywhere, whose goodness is subtle and understated.
No acting experience is required as long as the performer can remain honest, still, and natural on camera.
