Directed by: Alessandro D'Alatri
With: Fabio Volo, Valeria Solarino
Duration: 108 mins

Mario (Fabio Volo), a thirty-something surveyor drifts along - living in Cremona with his very traditionally minded mother, and working at City Hall – gently learning to lower his life expectations. One day what seems to him like a golden opportunity arises: a building has become available, and he and a group of friends can finally build the discotheque they‘ve dreamed about for so long…

A very modern story about life and love, Alessandro D'Alatri (CASOMAI) expertly dissects provincial prejudices and attitudes, as well as the red-tape traps of a local bureaucracy that tries to show just how important they are at every step. Volo finds just the right balance of exasperation, determination and world-weariness for Mario, a man who understands that life shouldn't be so complicated - but that is anyway.
