SARA PERDE – L'accesso alle Finali Nazionali (SARA LOSES – The Access to the National Finals)

"Sara misses out on making it to the finals of the state championships" would be about the full title of Silvia Poeta Paccati's documentary miniature. Simultaneously, the title is the only factual information the film provides. The image it shows to us is a single long shot. It follows, from a distance, a girl at a sporting event, showing her in a gymnastics outfit as she makes her way through the hall, where, visibly emotionally distraught, she comes to stand next to an older woman, who then speaks at length to her. What both say is inaudible, but their facial expressions and gestures are clearly visible. In this way, a drama unfolds in the minds of the viewers that shifts from the screen to the imagination.
