Shelter - Farewell to Eden

Shelter - Addio all'Eden

Directing: Enrico Masi

Synopsis

According to the myth, Jupiter seduced a young girl and led her to an island in the Mediterranean Sea. The name of the girl was Europa. Crossing boundaries, wilderness and urban landscapes, Pepsi takes the role of a modern Europa, in search for gender equality, citizenship and recognition as a human being. Pepsi was born inside a military camp in the Mindanao, in the Philippines archipelago, an island of muslim faith she had to escape from because of her homosexuality. Set between Italy and France, Shelter is a post-colonial parable in which a person in transition is, paradoxically, looking for identity without revealing his own face.
