Bravissima!!!

Absolutely beautiful story of a mother/daughter bond. I had to use subtitles but the story was so intimately written I understood without words. The emotions the actors displayed told the story as well of the words I read on my second watch. You can literally feel the emotions as the film progresses, breathtaking!

A must see for every daughter, I think as moms we all want so much more for our children. I can't wait for my daughter to watch this short film. And, hopefully one day she will have her daughter watch it too. It says so much more than words can express.

Bravo-just beautiful Stefania!

The story, the film making, the acting, the directing is all done so beautifully it's hard hitting and full of so many emotions. I think that beautiful is the best way to describe all of the artistry and the story of this short. Stefania and everyone involved did a truly amazing job it's one of the best shorts I've ever seen! It is a relatable story that is told excellently it is well thought out and executed. The skill of all the actors is amazing you can feel every single emotion they are going through. Stefania is just so amazing at everything she does so it is really not surprising that this short is a masterpiece 💜

I think shorts film are good and achieve their goal when, in the limited time they use, they manage to evoke a feeling in the viewer.

Zita Sempri achieves that. The viewer can feel the emotion, heart and soul of the writer/creator of the short film.

Finally, all aspects of the short film complement each other.

The story is simple: an exchange of letters between mother and daughter.

But the images helps you see the vision of the main character.

The voice off help you feel the emotion of the letters.

The way the scenes are used allows you to have context.

And the use of the camera allows you to see the love the creator of the film has for her birth land.

It's clearly a very well imagined, written and created love letter.

This short is incredible, it tells such a beautiful story of a mother and daughter. You can tell it comes from a place of love and emotion, the message behind it is so heartbreakingly true. It's been treated with such care and passion and truly encapsulates how it feel to be so far away from the people you love. The letters play such a key part on the meaning, and an important message of never forgetting who you are regardless of the relationships and friendships you find yourself in. I hope to see more of Stefania Spampinato behind the camera. This truly is Stefania's love letter from herself to her Sicily and her mamma <3.
