More About This Title OUR SILENCES ARE NO LOVE SONGS

English

When Aldino receives mysterious text messages from his dead mother, he questions himself, becomes suspicious and ends up being curious about the source. The desire to follow through with the mystery will help him accept himself as he is.



The Work
Aldino has never been lucky in life. He calls himself a bad brother, a bad partner, an unreliable friend.
Already as a child, he felt “out of the picture”. How could he really exist alongside a brother whose perfection reveals his own flaws? He tried his best to do well, to attract interest and enthusiasm, but could hardly convince even his own parents.
So he shut himself up in silence, taking refuge in solitude.
His girlfriend, Emilie, is his best ally against the blows and wounds he is used to suffer. Having given up following his own path, letting his passion for music aside, he embarked on a career in a debt collection company. His love life is far from being satisfying. His procrastination drives Emilie away and she kicks him out of the house.
So when he receives mysterious text messages from his mother, which he believes to be from another world, since his parents have died, he gets annoyed, questions himself, becomes suspicious and ends up being curious about the source. And wanting to discover others, he will learn to know himself better and accept himself as he is, with an awareness that will turn his life upside down.
