Alex is an introverted, sensitive boy with a specific dream: to make films.
While others his age get lost in judgments, social media, and superficiality,
he observes the world with different eyes, armed only with his imagination.
But the world around him isn't kind to those who are "different."
Alex suffers bullying and isolation, day after day, as a
punishment for simply wanting to be himself. School becomes an
emotional battlefield, home a silent refuge where thoughts roam.
The only glimmer of hope is Francesca, a girl who encourages and supports him in
the darkest moments, pushing him not to give up and to believe in what he loves.
Through pain, desire, and his passion for cinema, Alex finds the
strength to react and transform his suffering into creativity. The short film
becomes a story of growth and resistance, an invitation to never stop
believing in yourself, even when everything seems to be going the other way.
"Reality" is a raw yet luminous story, intimate and universal, that speaks to the hearts
of young people and those who, despite everything, choose to build.
