Nowadays you have to invent your own work

Giovanni

GIOVANNI is a man who is completely devoted to his job. Following his past as an artist, trying not to sink financially, he decides to take over the family tradition and become a carpenter even though he is aware that that's not the road he wants to walk. UMBERTO is an unscrupulous business man who, for his own financial wellbeing, extorts money from desperate people. While Giovanni is creating a work commissioned by two unusual brothers, Umberto meets ADELE in a hotel room to obtain his 'compensation'. Their lives that run parallel will never meet, but they will always be united by being the two sides of the same medal.

Fuochi

The burnt, endless wheat fields in the heart of Sicily. Ino is a farmer who lives in the shade of a giant wind turbine, facing the disease of his father, a man attached to a ventilator, whose last desire is to escape from stillness and see the snow for the first and last time. Ino will not resign himself to his father’s choice. While the earth around him is slowly burning, he will try to defend the world he has built for his father, until the day the fire arrives in his land. A fire that may be no longer destructive, but liberating.
