From a true story

Also inspired by the story of Elisa Claps, the sixteen-year-old female student who died on 12 September 1993 and whose remains were found on 17 March 2010 in the attic of the Trinity church.

The goal is to turn the spotlight on the theme of "femicide".

"Applause" tells the last hours of a young girl's life.

Through the reworking of a fact that actually happened, fiction and working on imagination, as well as on journalistic sources and public domain, the film wants to remember, all those cases of femicide.

Cases in which the truth is often late and twisted to overshadow death itself and the dignity of women.
