The newest film by Marco Tullio Giordana, director of the widely acclaimed The Best of Youth.

Giordana reunites with his Best of Youth star Alessio Boni to tell anextremely relevant story about the predicaments and ramifications of illegal immigration in today's society. Boni plays Bruno Lombardi, a factory ownerwith a fairly liberal world view. This outlook undergoes a remarkable expansion when his son, Sandro (Matteo Gadola), falls overboard on a family vacation in Greece and is rescued by a boat filled with refugees from various countries. A devastating and deeply humane film from one of world cinema's most exciting directors. (117 min, 2005)
