SCREENING FROM FRIDAY JULY 10th

When Giulio (Filippo Scotti), a shy architecture student, falls in with two irrepressible middle-aged drinkers, a seemingly aimless journey through the bars, backroads and anonymous landscapes of the Veneto region around Venice becomes an unexpected lesson in friendship, regret and the fleeting pleasures of life. Balancing deadpan humour with quiet melancholy, Francesco Sossai’s wistful elegy crafts an affectionate portrait of lost generations searching for connection in a rapidly changing Italy.
