The visually stunning video intricately explores the complex dynamics of a couple ensnared in toxicity, expertly navigating the delicate balance between passion and peril.
Lista reunites Nikki Lorenzo and True Detective star John Hawkes on screen, marking their third collaboration. In this latest venture, Lorenzo and Hawkes engage in a chaotic dance of emotions, portraying a couple desperately yearning to be together. Despite their fervent desire, they find themselves repeatedly drawn back, navigating the intricate maze of lust, love, desperation, sorrow, bliss, and jealousy.
Director Bianca Poletti, recently featured on NOWNESS for her latest short film, Ultra Low, describes Lista as a narrative about two people passionately seeking each other but unable to make the relationship work. The video delves into the magnetic spark that accompanies meeting someone truly captivating. Poletti emphasises the poignant conclusion of the relationship, stating, "I wanted the end to feel like something they both didn't want; they fought to stay together, but there was no other option for them."
