Two washed-up fiftysomethings, devoted to the doctrine of every drink is never the last, cross paths at a bar with a drifting architecture student (Filippo Scotti, Best Emerging Actor at Venice for The Hand of God). What begins as a chance encounter spirals into a chaotic road trip across the Venetian plains—a fragmented, deeply transformed rural landscape that mirrors the existential no-man’s-land inhabited by this unlikely trio. Two lost, out-of-step generations abandoned by the system bond over barroom wisdom and boozy camaraderie, prompting the wallflower student to consider redrawing the blueprints of his future. In his second feature, Francesco Sossai delivers a bittersweet, unashamedly nostalgic portrait of his broken homeland, using its cracked surface to reflect a universal crossroads. The line between comedy and drama is blurred, very blurred, in this tender bromance with shades of I Vitelloni and early Jarmusch.
