The Son
Palermo, today. Vincenzo Vetro, a 40-year-old husband and loving father, works at the municipal fish market every night. Outside his job Vincenzo does door-to-door fish delivery rounds with his ten-year-old son Giovanni. Only gradually Giovanni finds out the trusting relationship to his father is a hollow shell, that he actually is a drug courier and immersed in a shadowy underworld full of threats and dangers ...
Federico Cruciani’s debut feature, which so often works rather with gazes, small gestures and precise situations than with words, tells - always compassionate, never sentimental - the story of its little heart-wrenching protagonist falling out of paradise and having to find his own way.
