Massimiliano Orfei

A teenager, the only hearing member of a deaf family, finds her voice and learns to believe in herself through her passion for singing.

Set among the mountains of southern Sardinia, Zustissia reconstructs the 1991 triple homicide that led to Zuncheddu being sentenced to life imprisonment. He spent 33 years in prison before being definitively acquitted on 26 January 2024, following a retrial initiated by lawyer Mauro Trogu.

Palermo, 2012. Giulio, a listless and dissatisfied 16-year-old, drifts through his days with no enthusiasm for school and no prospects for the future. His encounter with Ketty, a more self-assured peer, offers him an escape from the monotony.

Nicole, alone at home while pregnant during the G8 demonstrations in Genoa, unwisely opens the door to a group of protesters. During the forced cohabitation, the private world of the woman and the public world of the boys collide and end up changing each other.

A tour guide and a failed actress accompany four inmates to the Pollino massif, in search of the centuries-old Bosnian pine, a symbol of resilience. The journey quickly becomes a journey of transformation, filled with encounters and changes, punctuated by a music that takes shape step by step, becoming a collective voice capable of bringing together diverse bodies, emotions, and stories. In a harsh yet beautiful landscape, punctuated by unexpected solidarity, fragments of complex lives emerge, along with open wounds and a profound need to be seen and heard. Talking, singing, and naming what has been experienced becomes a way to release tensions and rediscover a sense of belonging, at least until a sudden event calls everything into question. Because, sometimes, sharing one's story is already a first step toward something bigger.

Draws inspiration from the legacy of Pope John Paul II, particularly the passionate cries of “Santo Subito!” that echoed after his death in 2005, urging his immediate canonization.

Over the years, he has come up with various schemes, but they all turned out to be scams—so much so that his wife is tired of constantly looking after him, and his daughter has lost all respect for him. Now flat broke, Marcello hatches another one of his plans: opening the only funeral home in a remote, tiny Puglian village inhabited exclusively by people over ninety, in the vain hope that his new neighbors will soon kick the bucket and become his customers.

In the heart of the 17th century, Friar Leopoldo da Casamacchia recounts the Gospel with a joy and freedom never seen before. While the Church speaks in Latin, he speaks to the people of a God who is close to them, capable of bringing comfort, hope, and even of laughing alongside them. His voice spreads from village to village, winning over thousands of people and emptying the churches. The echo of his message reaches as far as Rome, where the Pope entrusts the case to Cardinal Maculani, the most influential inquisitor of the time. What begins as a trial turns into an unexpected confrontation, capable of shaking seemingly unshakable convictions. While Leopoldo’s fate seems sealed, doubt begins to change even those who judge him. Because you can silence a voice, but not what that voice has left behind in others.
