After a mysterious introduction to the story by a fisherman, a woman meets what appears to be an alien in the middle of the night and decides to help him, taking him to a cabin in the woods. The atmosphere is enigmatic and ambiguous, but somehow the two characters start trusting each other. As the threat of a gunshot breaks into the storyline, the two reveal themselves as very aware of the threatening surrounding as they start running away not only from the imminent danger but from the whole story itself.
To Guys is a couple of Italian directors formed by Alex Avella and Alessandro De Leo. They met and graduated from the new Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. After a few years of independent work, they decided to join forces as a couple. Their stylistic approach is inclined towards surreal storytelling using a dreamy touch. They show surreal and disturbing events that create a strong link between reality, fantasy and desire. They don't want to be classified as genre directors because they always use an approach from different angles for their projects.
