Year: 2013
Duration: 89'
Scanio Libertetti, a would-be engineer, earns his living as a coffee machine repairman and is taking a remedial course at a suburban driving school to regain the points lost off his driver’s license. Scanio teeters through the contradictions of the modern world, as his successful friends criticize him relentlessly, his old cell phone rings non-stop, and his uncle the baker encourages him to make the most of his talents. Only Helena, a young English woman who has moved to Italy to work as a human resources expert, seems able to understand and reassure him. At least for a while.
Biography
film director
Paolo Mitton
Paolo Mitton was born and raised in Italy, where he studied engineering. At twenty-one years of age, he moved to Belgium and then to Paris, where he worked for a telecommunications company and began to frequent art house cinemas. After spending two years in Spain, where he attended brief film courses and made his first shorts, he moved permanently to London, where he works as a film editor and in special effects. He has worked on the postproduction of movies such as Troy (2004), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). In the meantime, he continued to write, until his first feature film, The Repairman, was created.

Declaration
film director
“I have always been fascinated by human relationships and their imperfections. This is why I chose Scanio as the protagonist of The Repairman. He is so completely out of touch with his surrounding world that he creates problems in every relationship he has. Because he is an old-fashioned person in a world that didn’t want to wait for him; because his job is to repair things, in a world that prefers to replace broken things with a newer model.”
