"Volti" uses archival i footage to explore the theme of police brutality and the dehumanization of victims. Through a process of visual transformation, the human faces shown undergo a sort of symbolic castration due to the abuse, losing their humanity and breaking down into expressions of pain. Each face becomes a tragic mask, symbolizing the loss of identity and dignity inflicted by a system that no longer recognizes people, but only objects to control and repress. The film ends with an eerie silence, accompanied by a sequence of images showing faces now dead and devoid of meaning. These faces, stripped of any distinguishing features, merge into a disturbing gallery that represents the final stage of dehumanization: the complete erasure of individuality.
