Director Statement
The film is structured in seven chapters, an introduction and a finale. Shot in just 14 days, Purgatory revisits a theme as love, in a way that the heroes of the different stories come together, reminding us that what we see is part of an entire society. The title is reminiscent of the Middle Ages. It evokes souls, torture, eternal death or eternal redemption. How far away and yet how close to our time. A time of pandemic and disintegration of the social fabric. The film, tries to show this madness that prevails nowadays, but having as a constant love that all the heroes of the stories seek as a refuge. And even if it is not given to them or does not really belong to them, they grab it like a thirsty man in the desert grabs a bottle for the last drop of water.
