Carla`s Enzo

Original title: Carla`s Enzo
Participated in: MIDPOINT Feature Launch 2025
Genre: Arthouse romantic comedy about friendship with fairytalish elements
Country: Germany, Italy

In a city where everything follows the same routine, ENZO, a tired worker, and CARLA, a lonely teenager, form an unexpected bond. They create a chosen family built on trust, showing what it means to truly belong.

In a city where everything follows its familiar rhythm, two lonely souls cross paths: ENZO, a quiet laborer marked by a near-death experience, and CARLA, a sharp 15-year-old with parents who are machines that function but do not feel. They are real robots. At Carla’s school, there is a strict security routine: students can only leave when their names are called by the teachers at the school`s exit, and a trusted adult in front of the school building confirms their identity by raising a hand.

When Carla’s turn comes, her parents are late. It seems like another day—until something changes. Enzo, passing by chance, stops. Their eyes meet, and the world seems stop. When asked, “Do you know him?” Carla replies, “Yes.” That single word changes everything: This is the beginning of something extraordinary—a chosen family, built not on blood but on a shared longing. Two people who no longer want to be alone decide to create something together: a home made of trust.
