The Memorable World of Italian Dreams... The Private World of Three Brothers

Drama

In a farmhouse in southern Italy, an old woman dies. Her husband summons their sons: from Rome, Raffaele, a judge facing a political case for which he risks assassination; from Naples, the religious and ideological Rocco, a counselor at a correctional institute for boys; from Turin, Nicola, a factory worker involved in labor disputes. Once home, each encounters the past and engages in reveries of what may come.

VIBE

A heavy, reflective drama where familial duty clashes with personal and political turmoil. It's a somber, introspective journey through memory and consequence, steeped in the atmosphere of a troubled Italy.
