, directed by Ugo Gregoretti, Carlo Lizzani, Citto Maselli and Nino Russo, tackles the themes of the atrocity of pain, of emigration, but above all the theme of the human capacity for adventure, fear and anger, aptitude and rebirth.

The film, presented out of competition at the latest Venice Film Festival and seen by many as an important example of independent cinema, civil commitment and artistic quality, comes out today in Rome's Adriano cinema, distributed by Eagle Pictures. A really rare collective initiative on Italy's current film landscape.
