Affiorare is a VR experimental documentary set in prison. Like in a fairy tale, the viewer is immersed in the everyday life of mothers and kids living in special places: prisons and custody institutions for inmates with their children. 360° footage at children’s eye level and animations embark us on a magical journey from the iconic panopticon system of control, to the most recent confinement centers. As in the hero’s journey, the protagonists tell us —in a deep and poetic way— their first impressions of the prison, the smells, the fears, the challenges.
