Paolo Pierobon
Civilisation is coming to an end. The death of his only relative gives a feral boy the pretext to journey beyond the confines of his home environment; only by doing this will he be able to decipher his father’s journal, the most valuable artefact in his legacy. This singular contribution to the post-apocalyptic sci-fi genre tells of a humanity in crisis, while at the same time conveying the adventurous spirit of adolescence.
The 1978 kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades as seen by an outsider perspective, that of his family and political allies.
The story of the descent into madness of Mussolini’s secret first wife, Ida Dasler, who was seduced by his passion and vigour but blind to the fascist dictator’s many flaws. A historical drama with the passion, lyricism and tragedy of a classical Italian opera. Nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
