Birthday Candles

About This Movie

Birthday Candles weaves together the lives of three very different characters, each grappling with their own struggles in a world that feels heavy and unforgiving. You have Daniele, the cop with his rigid moral compass, and Giovanni, who's sort of a tragic figure in a clown costume, trying to keep it together amidst his breakdown. Antonio, the old man, brings a touch of desperation, as he scavenges for coins thrown into fountains, embodying lost dreams. The film's pacing is deliberate, giving you time to sink into the characters' emotional depths. It’s not flashy, but there's a rawness in the performances that gives it that special touch – the kind of subtlety that sticks with you after the credits roll.

Character study is central to the narrative. · Atmospheric, with a focus on emotional depth. · Subtle performances enhance the storytelling.
