Acting credits
NRImatra is a Finnish town on the border with Russia in South Karelia. Bianca, a Spanish teacher, went to live and work there to escape a complicated relationship. Her ex-boyfriend joins her: his assignment is to make an industrial documentary on the preparation of wood pulp. Corso Salani is a true exception in the Italian film scene. A director and actor of undoubted quality, he is constantly committed to new projects that have originality as their main characteristic. This is the case of the series "I confini d'Europa" of which Imatra is the third chapter. Salani wants to explore places that are on the edges of that complex organism that is now the European Union.
Imatra
2007
5.6In the 1950s, a big stir was made by a book (and its corresponding movie) called The Ugly American. Its subject was the grievous damage done to local cultures by well-meaning but essentially clueless (and frequently arrogant) representatives of the U.S. Since then, the phenomenon of cultural damage cause by arrogant tourists and visitors has been demonstrated to be something everyone is capable of. In this thoughtful, comic drama, the subject is Italians overseas. In this film, Malindi Kenya is the playground of rich Italians.

NRA detective is investigating on Andres Carrera, speech-writer of a politician man. Andres disappeared during the electoral campaign. The detective slowly 'penetrates' in Andres' life: he begins to live at Andres' home; to work at Andres' office; to meet Andres' parents; to seek a sort of relation with Andres' wife and colleagues. The election campaign is going on, but nobody can write so 'poetic' and so 'politic' speeches as Andres did. What is the secret of his speeches? Why his nickname was "Whitman", like American poet? Why Andres disappeared and where he is now? And why the detective is so interested in it, beyond his professional task? Maybe being in relation with Andres parents and wife will reveal every solution to the detective. Or it will include everything in a dream...
