Egg

Directed by Martina Scarpelli
Narrative Short
France | 12 min | 2018

A woman is locked in her home with an egg, which she is both attracted to and scared of. She eats the egg, she repents. She kills it. She lets the egg die of hunger.

Voices Inside our heads are always speaking to us and this inevitable question, Which one am I? Which one is me?
An Infinite number of “me”s are born throughout our lives. We nurture them, consume them, and unexpectedly lose some of them. But the voices inside us and our accompanying color do not turn off. It’s impossible to live without them on the path to find ourselves; we have to pass through turmoil, empathize with ourselves, and stay alive.
Maybe somewhere we could move past this other one and make the same color and the same voice.
