CLOACINAE
2017
Every modern society is built on two invisible and indispensable systems. The sanitary and the monetary system. Money and the sewer; connecting everybody. When something goes wrong with one of these two, our civilization is in danger. In this shadow puppet film, with a wide array of pre-cinematographic technics, we follow the journey of a cent who has fallen into the sewer system. Cloacinae is also the name of the roman goddess of the first sewer of modern civilization, the cloaca maxima, in Rome.
