A housewife wearing a dress from the Fifties comes down a pastel-colored spiral staircase. She cries out a name: Lady. The woman is desperately looking for her interlocutor, chatting nonstop while walking around the room. It looks like she is talking with a real person, but Lady is actually a dog, and a stuffed one no less. There’s not much to talk about with a lifeless animal. This is the first sequence of Favola (“Fairytale”) by Sebastiano Mauri, a film that astonishes the viewer from the very beginning.
