Il grande spirito

In a neighbourhood on the outskirts of Taranto, high upon the rooftops framed by the Ilva steel factory, we meet Tonino a.k.a. “Barboncino” (poodle). Tonino has just committed a robbery and, in a moment of foolishness, fled from his accomplices, taking the entire loot for himself. He escapes upward, clambering from roof to roof, until he can go no further and must take refuge in an old water tank. Here he finds Renato, a strange and eccentric man who believes he is an American Indian from the Sioux tribe. Trapped with no other choice, Tonino is forced to team up with Renato. A strange and crazy friendship is formed, and Tonino learns to see things from a very different perspective.

I Want to Watch

Celeste is sixteen years old, a body like many others and a secret of her own. Every now and then, driven by no one knows what need, she goes down the seafront and waits. When a car stops, she gets in. Davide Heller is a successful criminal lawyer. He lives alone in a large apartment, he is a young, handsome, taciturn man. He too has always had a secret. Their meeting is like a faulty bomb that never goes off. One morning Davide Heller leaves home in a jogging outfit, with a big backpack on his shoulders: inside, the corpse of a little girl. Celeste follows him and from then on, she’ll never let go of him… In a crescendo of tension, their two ordinary and sick existences mirror each other noiselessly. Until the end.
