The shy are not in the spotlight, they are at the corner of the frame, they live a little out of time, they do not make news, but when they are driven by their ardour they sow shoots of vitality which give us hope, and perhaps make us find the lost route in this world where often alas only form and appearance mean and content has little weight.
DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
Nowadays those who do not leave in the spotlight are considered losers, but it is not like that. It is much more interesting to follow shy people, who with their actions can overturn this world, make small revolutions capable of stirring apathy and lack of a critical spirit.
With this film we tried to tell about the shy people’s small feats.
