moth
short-film
moth (traça) is an experimental short film comprising three episodes inspired by the biographies of three prominent historical figures: jean marc gaspard itard, marie antoinette, and friedrich nietzsche. despite their vastly different life experiences, they share a common thread of personal turmoil and devastation in their relationships. these moments of downfall serve as a unifying element, offering insights into the inner lives of these figures and challenging the conventional linear narrative through which their stories are typically portrayed.
