Gondola
A movie by Veit Helmer
Germany, 2023, 82’
original version with italian subtitles
In the mountains of Georgia, two cable car gondolas cross paths, causing Iva and Nino to meet. Day after day, the two conductors get to know each other: they play, try to impress each other and, without ever speaking to each other, fall in love in front of the jealous gazes of the head servant and the curious ones of the community. With lightness and poetry, this comedy doesn’t need dialogues since it uses irony and lightness to tell a story through body language, landscapes and music. A film with a peculiar blend of irony and magic realism that has a strong emotional and imaginative power.
