[REQ] La Bambola di Leila (2025) [Italy]

[tgery2002]

In a desolate and silent landscape, nine-year-old Ana walks along a country road with her seven-year-old sister Leila. They are escaping something, but Ana experiences it as a game, telling stories to her sister and speaking of magical things she hopes to find along the way. The girls venture into the woods, chasing the dream of discovering a magic wand that could make everything feel safe again. But Leila grows tired, and the journey becomes increasingly difficult. Through Ana's behavior, her psychology begins to emerge: a desire to protect, to keep hope alive, but also the weight of a reality that becomes harder and harder to ignore. The air grows heavier, filled with an invisible tension, as if something is about to change forever. Leila's Doll delicately explores themes of loss and resilience through the eyes of a child forced to confront the brutality of war. Imagination becomes her only weapon against fear, loneliness, and grief. The film unfolds in an emotional crescendo, never fully revealing the truth, leaving the viewer suspended between reality and illusion - in a story of tenderness, pain, and the power of inner strength.
