I Stay Home

About This Movie

I Stay Home is a fascinating snapshot of a unique moment in time—March 2020, when Italy found itself in lockdown. The film is stitched together from the experiences of five Youtubers, showcasing both the mundane and the surreal aspects of quarantine life. It’s not just about the isolation but also the community that emerges through shared digital experiences. The pacing varies; some segments feel rushed, while others linger, letting the viewer soak in the stillness. The atmosphere is heavy with tension and uncertainty, yet there’s a certain resilience that shines through. The practical effects are minimal, relying mostly on the raw footage from smartphones and home setups, which adds an authentic layer to the narrative.
