The Massacre (2026)

After years stuck in creative paralysis, with a string of abandoned film projects gathering dust, director Cosimo Messeri finally decides to face his own ghosts. His unconventional remedy? Tracking down the women he once matched with on dating apps during those bleak, unproductive years. Joined by two close friends, he transforms this deeply personal quest into an intimate hybrid—part raw documentary, part soul-baring confession. Through awkward reunions, bittersweet flashbacks, and brutally honest exchanges, a striking portrait emerges: a man wrestling with repeated failures, squandered chances, and a desperate search for meaning. What begins as an emotional audit of everything lost—and perhaps still recoverable—takes an unexpected turn when he stumbles upon something he never saw coming: a genuine shot at redemption and the courage to begin again.
