Colombi

Two lovers spend a century of life together while trends, objects, and films tumble one after the other in a slow and inexorable descent into horror. Accompanying them through the decades: an obsession for coffee makers octagonal knobs and for anonymous design. Getting old and slowly losing their strength, though never their lucidity, they prefer to close out the world darkening and sealing the blinds of their home and by withdrawing into themselves, thumbing through old encyclopedias of extinct animals.
