Motel Jacaranda
The first short film by Antonio Marras
Motel Jacaranda is a cinematic journey into the fragile and elusive nature of love. Set in a dreamlike motel—an imagined sanctuary for hidden desires—the short film draws inspiration from the tragic romance between Anna Maria Pierangeli and James Dean. Through a poetic and melancholic lens, it captures the emotional depth of five intertwining stories, each unfolding within the walls of a different room. Described by Antonio Marras as “a room of the soul”, the film blends sound, imagery, objects, and dialogue into a richly immersive atmosphere. At its heart lies the Spring Summer 2025 collection, dedicated to Anna Maria Pierangeli. Here, garments transcend their role as mere costumes to become expressive, narrative elements—woven with memory, longing, and intensity.
