Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2016
June 2 - 8, 2016
Two Italians struggle to start a new life together on a hardscrabble Romanian farm in Adriano Valerio’s promising feature debut, a quietly poetic study of cross-cultural exchange and souls in transition.
In the Italian city of Bari, Ivo (I Am Love’s Edoardo Gabbriellini), an unemployed agronomist, is moving out of his apartment and preparing to take a job in Romania, just as Clara (Elena Radonicich), a newly single shipbuilder, is moving in. Though the two cross paths for only a day, it’s the beginning of a surprising journey—both geographic and emotional—for them both as she eventually follows him to Romania, where they set about trying to start a new life together on a hardscrabble farm.
