Bad Mood

Her mum makes 5 euro an hour. She works in one place as long as her employer is alive. Then she finds another one. Sometimes a person dies in her presence, then she is in a bad mood. Her mum is a domestic help, taking care of the elderly. The animation shows the Italian elderly care system as well as work and its impact on one’s family, as seen by a child. Fluorescent colours, a ticking clock and looped scenes create a psychedelic story about the repetitiveness of human life and death.
