WINNER - Best International Short Documentary, Festival dei Popoli 2020. What the jury said:
“From a small and apparently simple idea, the director draws a brilliant film, playing with the parallelism between animals and humans and offering a delicate portrait of an East London neighborhood. Very authentic and with a lot of tenderness and humor, the director succeeds to express a powerful atmosphere in a very short time.
We want to watch Bubble again and again and know more about the characters. It’s joyful and contagious with its lively humanity. A pure joy!”.
