L' Acqua Xe Morta / The Water Is Dead presents a surreal triptych of narratives that chart the stasis of humanity on the brink of ecological and psychological collapse. A woman unable to sleep, a sinkhole in the road, and a flooded hospital intertwine as the body of the city collides with a wave. Between folklore, mortality, and sleep, L' Acqua Xe Morta is the suspended moment before the disintegration of body, mind, and civilization.
