"Alice" (Olga Torrico) turns up late for her job at the gas station just in time to fill up for her former music teacher "Claudio" (Claudio Collovà). She hasn't seen him since he taught her the flute at school, and whilst cleaning his car finds an old CD of her playing under the seat. He lingers for a while and they chat about how she is, what's she's doing and why she gave up playing. These brief scenes are interspersed by a seemingly random collection of archive images of people, places, plants - even a volcano as it transpires that she is about to sell her instrument. What caused her to stop? Might she ever see past that trauma and pick it up again? There is some quite nice flute music towards the end, and some of the archive is quite quirky in a stand-alone sense, but as to the gist of the plot between the girl and her former teacher, I am none the wiser. Perhaps that got lost in translation (or the subtitling), but I couldn't find anything of much interest between the two characters here, sorry.
