SYNOPSIS

 
The five protagonists remain silent; the anonymous diaries written by the students of a high school speak for them and for all teenagers. The images, devoid of words, invite the observer to pay attention to gestures, objects, environments, glances. This silence, which permeates the scenes, is a metaphor for the reality of a society that does not listen to young people, as if their words were not even perceived. The diaries, through their anonymous sharing, offer teenagers a means to express themselves, emerge and seek contact, asking to be listened to.
