Swiss premiere The quiet daily life of Emilia, a municipal employee in Calabria, is disrupted by her husband’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. She decides to visit her son Antonello in Germany for a face-to-face conversation about her father’s health. Antonello Scarpelli stages an intimate and non-rhetorical family portrait, alternating close-ups and wide landscapes that compose a profound and painful reflection on the repressed issues of Italian middle-class families. |
