Recalling the works of the great Pier Paolo Pasolini, documentary filmmaker David Emmer directs this sensitive portrait of a mother and her son. Upon returning home after military duty, Gianluca (Yuri Gugliucci) discovers that his mother (Adriana Asti) has been evicted from their home. He puts his dreams of being a forest ranger on the back burner and takes a job as a fisherman. From there, the ever-optimistic Gianluca drifts from one job to the next until he slides into a life of crime. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide
