Catalan director Nausica Serra is taking part to the 8th edition of the Future Frames Program at the 59th Karlovy Vary Film Festival with her short film “Dissection of an incoherence in Crisis“.

With the Future frames program for talented young directors, the European Film Promotion EFP takes ten outstanding film school graduates from throughout Europe to the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (Czech Republic). The directors get the chance to present their short films to the international industry and the public at the prestigious A-list film festival.

“Dissection of an incoherence in Crisis” delves into the human inability to accept the superiority of others by showing the interactions between three girls playing together and their parents arguing/ discussing the route for a road trip.

Nausica Serra shows us a world in which behaviors are inherited faster than genes, especially the inability to manage envy and ego, as seen in the two central characters, Aran, the youngest daughter, and Artur, her father.

Plot

Dissection of an Incoherence in Crisis delves into the human inability to accept the superiority of others: why can’t we acknowledge that others might know more than us, be more successful, or simply be right about certain things? Irrational envy and the denial of one's own inferiority form the foundation of this moral essay, explored through the analytical dissection of two realistic and everyday family scenes. In one, three girls engage in a trivial and absurd argument over how to
make a paper airplane. In the other, three adults engage in a sophisticated and intellectual debate about the details of a historical event. While these problems seem worlds apart, they share a common core: the inability to manage envy and ego, as seen in the two central characters, Aran, the youngest daughter, and Artur, her father.
