Corso Salani
Talsi is a little town in Latvia by the border, inhabited mostly by women due to the enormous loss of human lives during the WWII. The story of a province becomes the choral story of a feminine universe evoked by Liga the fortuneteller, who enters into the lives of the women she meets, speaking with them and interiorizing their lives, which she then transmits in open monologues in front of the camera.

Il peggio di noi

Corso Salani, Paloma Calle
At the end of his latest film, Palabras, Corso Salani indicts against his own crew. A long monologue goes on, while the images of the casting, of the rehearsals, of the set, flow. Lead actress Paloma Calle and the whole crew are accused of destroying the deep artistic and personal bind between Salani and his actress. In doing so, they helped in making the two drift apart. The film is now over, but emotions and feelings felt don't seem to fade out. The frames become the background of a love letter which is violent and desperate, the sign of wasted time, of the bitterness of what is and what could have been.

Gli occhi stanchi

A Polish girl decides to return home after eight years spent in various places in Europe. She makes the journey in a van and in the company of the members of a film crew who, on the long road from Rome to the Baltic coast, make a documentary about her and her story. The girl offers an account of some of the hardest moments in her life, from when she became involved in prostitution in Poland to when she arrived in Italy, the victim of violence, exploitation and abuse of all kinds.

June 27, 1980, an Italian DC 9 flying from Bologna to Palermo falls in the sea close to the Ustica island. 81 people die. The official version is "structure failure" of the airplane, but a number of clues lead the journalist Rocco Ferrante toward a different truth. Thanks to his perseverance against the invisible wall erected by air force officers, politicians, judges, secret agents, we come to know that, with all probability, the DC 9 has been mistakenly shot by a missile during a sort of air fight among U.S., French and Libyan top guns.

All'amore assente

A 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...
