In a single shot, a director arrives late on a bustling set. Like a conductor leading the dance of filming, he exchanges ideas with his team, talks with the actors, and improvises amid awkward moments and misunderstandings. Through these exchanges, he gradually regains his clarity and the concentration needed to finally shoot the scene.

In un piano sequenza, un regista arriva in ritardo su un set in fermento. Come un direttore d'orchestra che conduce il sacro ballo delle riprese, dialoga con la sua troupe, parla con gli attori e improvvisa tra goffaggini e malintesi. A poco a poco, ritrova la lucidità e la concentrazione necessarie per girare finalmente la scena.
