CRYSTAL GIRL

A seventeen-year-old girl hasn’t left her room in an indefinite amount of time. Those like her call them hikikomori, they are teenagers who decide to build themselves a little prison, leaving the outside world outside the door. Her routine is broken when, online, she meets Dev, a boy ten years older. The two fall in love immediately. For her it is the first love. In order to meet Dev, she must leave that cage.

Director’s Statement

“Vetro is a story about the ability to cling to oneself when the affections around us are running low. For this reason I decided that the best point of view would be that of the protagonist’s "inner strength": as an invisible character sometimes allied, others distracted, who silently observes all her movements and often puts himself on the line for her.”
