RITRATTO DI UN GIOVANE IMMIGRATO

PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG IMMIGRANT

Country: Italy
Year: 1996
Duration: 10'


Nasser is a young immigrant who has been living in Italy for some time. He has been the victim of an unjust police assault. This episode has made him insecure, depressed, and captive to his dark fantasies of vengeance. When Nasser meets Regis, a Brazilian psychologist, he decides to have him take care of him. Regis works in a psychotherapy center where alternative healing methods are used. He himself uses shamanic rituals aided by the "Psychotronic Machine", an instrument that facilitates the therapeutic use of crystals. The Brazilian psychotherapist uses dialogue, communication, and the energy of crystals and manages to get through to Nassers creative potential.
