Brissogne Islands
Les Îles de Brissogne

A short fiction film by Juliette Riccaboni

Aurora, 18 years old, has escaped from her mother’s place with her brother Angiolino which she has taken away from the medical institute where he was treated for a mental disability. Aurora wants to earn enough money to leave with her brother and start a new life somewhere else.
