Il Cioccolatino (The Chocolate) (2017)

12m

Giovanna is a solitary figure who cuts across the background of a large park as she passes. She sits on a bench and waits. Shortly afterwards, Isa, a lady in her seventies, joins her and asks if she can sit there too. The moment the women come together, something invisible binds and divides them at the same time. The younger of the two tries to strike up a conversation and offers her some chocolates from the box she has with her. They are her favorite leis, she reveals them to her, and they always bring back fond memories of her. Isa accepts the chocolates and puts them back in her bag, saving them for later. Giovanna tries to push Isa to talk about herself, but she has difficulty remembering, she gets angry with herself, she desperately searches for herself and gets lost again. Only the ending will reveal whether Giovanna will be able to help her and, at the same time, help herself.
