Victims

Jessica is a quiet and somewhat solitary teenager who lives in her own world, a kind of wonderland where her imagination travels freely, allowing her to keep away from the harshness of reality. No one seems to listen to her and understand her, but something could suddely change.

Il prossimo tuo

Rome, Paris and Helsinki right after the Madrid bombings. Three stories about people who, for different reasons, are afraid of others – the eponymous "thy neighbor." A humanity full of differences, but at the same time, with very similar feelings. So similar that their stories appear almost parallel and complementary.

L'amore di Màrja

In the '70s, young Màrja leads a hippie lifestyle in Finland. During a peace march, she meets Fortunato, a young Sicilian, and falls in love with him. They marry and start a family, happily raising two daughters. However, times become hard and Fortunato suggests they move to his old town, where he can find work easily. Màrja accepts, but she'll have to clash with a close-minded and malicious environment as a foreigner in Southern Italy.

Le sciamane

Claudia is your typical thirtysomething urban woman going through a life crisis. She is a hypochondriac with a stressful job and a boring partner. Her unlikely saviour is none other than her mother, a former hippie who gives her an amulet that belonged to her great-grandmother.

We Free Kings

Three tumblers wander throughout Italy with their show. A priest asks them to perform the Three Kings in a Nativity play, in a village where there are no children. That night a comet runs across the sky, so the three decide to follow it to search for the new Messiah.
