Been There

Synopsis

Weekend trips, city breaks, a detour into nature or once around the world. Barely a few days off, you're already gone. Never before has the desire to travel been so widespread and visited places so overloaded. What do we get out of it, other than the picture proof that we have been there?

The film received a Special Mention in the Pardi di Domani: Concorso Corti d'Autore competition at the Locarno Film Festival 2023 and also participated in the Toronto International Film Festival 2023 and Pragueshorts 2023.
