23° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL

Quando capita di perdersi

Getting lost

Country: Italy
Year: 2005
Duration: 50'


Sometimes it happens that you feel as if a place had actually found you, even though you were not looking for it, and then you find out you just can't do without it. That's what happened to Elisa the day she was found by Sadurano. She had got lost and was wandering along a winding road that sliders along as a snake, from Castrocaro all the way
to the hills. In Sadurano there's a bunch of lunatics who till the soil. Hoping they can heal the wounds of human soul, within the depths of the ground.
"Nowadays people are always shouting. They shout in anybody's face. This documentary may be the right place for people to listen. In Sadurano they taught me how to listen.
I was forced to that. Because no one seems to be all there, if you look closer." (S. Basso)
