Sofia | Presence/absence, Parental protection, Sibling Rivalry

Sophia is still asleep, covered up in mom’s bed. When the boys return from bathing they jump around wildly on the bed – Luca trying to see what will happen if he stands on Sofia’s head. She does not respond. There is a lot of activity on the bed as the boys explore and test boundaries with the new sibling – Luca wanting to cover Sofia’s head while mom tries to explain why she needs to breath. Mom looks tired. Mom and the boys sing the nursery rhyme “Ring a ring a rosy” – about death during the black plague.

As in clip 17 (01) the observer/camera struggles with a lack of light as well as demands from the boys for attention.
