When the Mist Clears (2022)

In the depths of her fractured existence, Isabella, a young woman bearing the brunt of a tumultuous past, grapples with the harsh realities of her life. At a tender age of thirteen, she was bereft of her Italian mother, succumbing to cancer, leaving her with a wounded soul and a father lost in his labyrinth of pain. Her British father, Frank, a successful businessman, harbors a devastating secret, choosing to drown himself in work, surrendering Isabella's upbringing to the care of nannies, tutors, and ultimately therapists. As years roll on, Frank finds solace in the warmth of a remarkable Italian woman, Claudia, his new wife. Claudia, with her gentle persuasion, convinces Frank to bury the digital distractions and the hustle of city life, to embrace a month-long sabbatical in a secluded Italian countryside estate. A retreat to nature, to unplug from the world, and a chance to weave the frayed threads of their relationships, a respite to heal and reconnect.

Filmed amidst the solitude of the pandemic in Italy, this unscripted yet meticulously planned feature is a brave exploration of character depths and intricate scene progressions.
