- A story about racism, discrimination, and prejudice: in a dystopic future governed by only women, there is a fight between blondies and brunettes. In this society, the blondies are discriminated against because of the color of their hair. Vittoria's story begins here; she is a comic-book heroine, a rebel who is not afraid to start a revolution.
In an imaginary future set in a world populated only by women, a group of blond girls live on the fringes of society. In this context, blondes are victims of declaimed racism due to the prejudice against the color of their hair, which makes them intellectually 'inferior' in the eyes of society and not worthy of being able to live with the equal rights of brunettes.
The pretext of narrating a common day of some blond girls, experiencing with them the discomfort of feeling out of place and out of time, is only the fuse that turns attention to something deeper: prejudice, the differences that separate and the paradox of modern society that forces us to fight for what should be rights. The whole short becomes a metaphor for a bigger idea: the one that has seen us, sees us and will see us, for who knows how long, appealing to differences and discrepancies, to try to fight an invisible enemy who stays, too often undisturbed, within ourselves. All the women will wear synthetic wigs: but considered within the story, as if they were their natural hair, a choice aimed at highlighting and defining also on a visual level, the Platinum Blonde color, with a Black color, to better emphasize the discrimination of race. The comic-grotesque key set to the narrative aims to objectify the tragic absurdity of racial discrimination, unfortunately still current and present theme, addressing it with an apparent comic metaphor: The fight between Blondes and Brunettes.
