Lost in Face

Carlotta cannot recognize faces, not even her own. She is one of the 1% of all people whose part of the brain responsible for facial recognition does not work properly. LOST IN FACE travels through Carlotta’s universe, full of anthropomorphic animals, lucid dreams and bumpy false paths. The film peels back her charming, idiosyncratic solutions that she employs to be able to join the masses of human conformity, until she one day decides to build a ship and leave her fellow humans. Her never-ending search for answers leads her to art — and thus an avenue to her own face and back to humanity.
