Synopsis
“Inspired” short film, tells the story of a young French painter who moves to Rome and tries to survive by selling his artwork. Adrien, the young painter, is in contact with the gallery owner (Sofia) and her sister (Clara), who has been living in Rome with her husband and their child for some time.
Unfortunately, Adrien doesn’t always manage to sell his artwork to support himself and pay for his studio where he lives and works. One day, he is forced to ask a loan of 500 euros from a loan shark. Unable to repay the amount after some time, he turns to Sofia for help, but she declines to assist him.
As a last resort, Adrien reaches out to his sister Clara, but she also refuses his request for help. Clara was unaware of the trouble Adrien had gotten himself into. Feeling cornered and his life at risk, Adrien is forced to make an extreme decision that will forever change his life. He will do everything in his power to leave his artistic mark in a harsh social context that doesn’t understand him and doesn’t help him to emerge.
