Director's Notes
The film has as its central theme the conflict that is sometimes generated between the need to realize one’s personal ambitions and the need to live life to the full even when these objectives have not been realised (as yet). A conflict between two fundamental aspects of human existence that often leads one to establish priorities that are misplaced and to forget how very important it is to know how to live one’s personal life to the hilt – come what may. A journey undertaken by these protagonists of Honeymoon that is not only a physical journey but also, and above all, an existential one. It is in fact a journey between characters who are apparently so diverse in their ways yet so close – an occasion to underline how various cultural differences can be shaded out in more ways than one can imagine. The style of the film tends towards the hyper-realistic, with a mood that is essential, direct and introspective. A “dramatic” comedy that try to explain that only by entering wholeheartedly into the game, with courage, simplicity and faith in other human beings can life reserve some pleasant surprises which were unthinkable a while ago.
