Mario Piredda

Anita is sixteen and she’s facing a difficult situation: her mother died of leukemia and now Jacopo, her father, is also sick: his need for a bone-marrow transplant is increasingly urgent, but the average waiting period for a donor is many months. Anita isn’t compatible, and neither is Tonino, her grandfather shepherd who lives in the nearby tableland, close to a military base which affect the area since the Sixties. There is uncle Gaetano: being Jacopo’s brother the probability that he is compatible is higher, but Gaetano is a hothead and he and Jacopo haven’t had any relationship at all: an old grudge, which they don’t want to forget, is keeping them apart.

Vera, a forty-year-old woman of Romanian origin, finds herself unemployed once again and is forced to move Kali, a young Nigerian girl, from one city to another across sun-scorched Sardinia: a seemingly simple ‘task’ turns into a journey that lasts a lifetime.

Left alone as only inhabitants of a deserted fishing village, two elderly people - Lucia and Peppino live in the hope that winter will never end.

A Donatello award nominated short film.

In the outskirts of Havana, Hugo dreams of baseball.
