Orçe

(Ogre)
by Diego Carli
25’, Mini DV, Italia, 2008

An antique legend says that in the Lessinia area lives an ogre with whom, thousands of years ago, man made a pact of tacit coexistence. But one day this strange alliance is broken… Orçe, in Cimbro, means ogre. The antique German idiom is the language of the first part of this short horror film set between the past and the present, between history and legend, fiction and reality.
