Drops of Dew

Secondary School (12-16 years)

During a sweltering summer with strict water rationing, young Emma receives an unexpected gift: a lemon plant. Facing the challenge of nurturing it with limited water ignites a spark in her, shaping her future. This experience becomes the cornerstone of Emma's inspiration to invent a groundbreaking, eco-friendly water recycling system as she grows older. "Drops of Dew" is a captivating short film brought to life by the innovative minds of Gianpaolo Gelati and Alessandro, both of whom have extensive backgrounds in the cinematic arts. Gelati, with degrees in scenography from the Accademia di Brera and scriptwriting from the Civic Cinema School in Milan, and Alessandro, honing his directing skills at the University of Cinema of Bologna and Silvio Soldini’s ShortFilmLab, have joined forces to establish Brand Gnu. Their film company is dedicated to crafting compelling narratives, with "Drops of Dew" marking their latest creative endeavor.
