FESTIVAL ( TIFF TORONTO)Statement Regisseur
TWIN FLOWER is a dark tale about two adolescents, Anna and Basim. An illegal African migrant and the daughter of a migrant trafficker, an unlikely pair. They don't speak the same language, they come from backgrounds that are miles apart, both on the run from a past they want to forget. The film is shot on the beautiful island of Sardinia. All my actors are "real". I started from reality to write the film.The mean character, Manfredi, is obsessed by Anna's innocence: when she escapes after a violent event, the man's fury is unleashed into a pursuit like that of a wild beast on the trail of its prey. He is alone, fearing loneliness, as he tells her, more than anything else. He is a crystal giant, as I describe him. Manfredi, too, is real. He is played by real life con-actor Aniello Arena. Casting was a long process but when I found the actors, I found the film. They are deeply similar to the characters they play. They are "natural", they blend with nature. Nature is the key word for my film.When Basim finds Anna, he will protect her. The migrant comes for protection but he will end up protecting. Against all odds, they become one thing. Their strong and desperate love is set between reality and magic, a delicate balance between everyday violence and the dream to escape it. This is the story of a dream they share that will help them survive even the cruellest twists of fate.Biographie
