Zou

  • HomePage

  • Overview

    The sun enchants and warms, as it burns. Love and ambition as well. The female figure and antihero Zou, like the other two main characters, Anselm and Gustav, are the perfect prototypes of a generation. Dreaming, lost and bored in a society of “freedom”, where globalization and the revolution of social media have strongly shaken the love paradigma.
