TWIN FLOWER
O.V in Italian subtitled in English and Spanish
In the powerful landscape of Sardinia, two teenagers in danger meet. Anna runs away from a man chasing her (former father of her boss, a human trafficker), and has lost her speech due to a traumatic experience. Basim tries to survive undocumented far from his native Ivory Coast. There are many cultural and language barriers that separate them, but little by little they will have to break down. The unity creates strength, and it will be their only choice to survive in a relentless world. A story of companionship and love, the passage to maturity at an accelerating pace.
