Lupine

Sinopsis Film

“Take life lightly, for lightness is not superficial, but gliding above things, not having weights on your heart.” This is the quote from Postmodernist writer Italo Calvino that inspired director Luca Werner to explore the carefree days of youth in this film. Lupine opens with a young man adoring a Lupine plant, a vibrant wildflower that grows throughout the Mediterranean and marks the beginning of Spring and new life. “I think there are certain moments in our youth where we feel completely light and careless, like we are in a flow,” says Werner, who followed a group of three real-life friends on a coastal sojourn across Rhodes. “I don’t believe that these moments end when we grow up. I believe we get a glimpse of them from time to time.”
