The Hanging Sun

The setting is a large port in Northern Europe, where, in the middle of the night, John decides for the first time to disobey his crime boss father, Dad, and to run as far away as possible. The criminal life his father had led him to is no longer for him, and he shudders at the thought that, after all, it is the only life Dad has ever prepared him for. John arrives at a tiny village in the far North, where the sun never seems to set, and he hides out in a cabin in the woods, waiting for the documents he needs to continue his flight. But Dad can’t give up on the only son he really cares about: he methodically reconstructs his movements and locates his whereabouts, and then orders John’s brother Michael to go after him. In this tense time and with his brother on his trail, John meets Lea and her son Caleb.

Lea is a young fisherwoman who has for years suffered the abuse of a violent and alcoholic husband, Aaron – who recently lost his life at sea under unclear circumstances. Like John, Lea also leads a life in the shadow of her father, Jacob, the village preacher, who has always forbidden her to harbor any notions that do not conform to his severe version of Christian morality. As the days go by, the three grow closer. For Lea, John is the first man able to offer her protection, but without depriving her of her freedom; and for Caleb, he is an unhoped-for father figure with whom he can share his world. John also seems to glimpse in this encounter the possibility of redemption and a new life.

Inevitably, they begin to feel like a newly-formed family. Yet, as Michael tracks his brother down, ever closer, the circle also tightens around Lea, with her father wanting to ensnare her again in a life she rejects. Lea and John must strive to free themselves from their respective fathers; only then will they be able to put behind them their painful pasts and finally open up to the possibility of a new life together.

September

One day in September three characters realize that their lives are not what they dreamed and that happiness is far away, but still possible.
It happens on a September day that three characters realize that the life they are living is not the one they dreamed of. That happiness is a far away idea but still possible.
When Maria returns from summer vacation, she finally catches the attention of the boy she likes, who through Sergio, a schoolmate, asks her if she wants to sleep with him.

Although not the most romantic proposal, Maria accepts it immediately, only to fall into a panic. Sergio offers his help and they spend a whole afternoon together, discovering a chemistry between them. Meanwhile, a visit to the doctor makes Sergio’s mother, Francesca, radically change her perspective on her life. She gets closer to her friend Debora, with whom a new and more authentic bond is developing, unlike the one Francesca has allowed herself to have until now.
She mentions it to her physician, Guglielmo, during a chance meeting at the bar. Since his wife left him, Guglielmo has lived as if trapped inside a bubble of apathy in which the only real contact seems to be with Ana, a young prostitute he meets regularly; a direct and pragmatic woman who has never stopped dreaming, in spite of the difficulties that she has encountered in life. The news of Ana’s affair with a young neighbor and Francesca’s confession make Guglielmo see things differently, jolting him out of his stupor.

By the screenwriter of Husband and Wife and An Almost Ordinary Summer, a collective tale that explores human relations, our deepest nature, and the search for a more authentic connection with people.

Screenplay by Giulia Louise Steigerwalt
Producer: Matteo Rovere
