Overview

Pietro is driving to Puglia with Jacopo, his autistic son, when their car suddenly breaks down. They are helped by Oliviero, a local mechanic, and are able to stay with Agata, who owns a bar that once rented out rooms. Gaia, who helps Agata run the bar, develops a close relationship with Pietro. The pace of life in the small village is very slow and monotonous, like a long wait for something to happen, until something distressing does, stopping Pietro and Jacopo from resuming their journey.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A man and his autistic son find themselves stranded in a drowsy southern Italian village where time moves slowly and relationships deepen in the shadows. As small-town life pulls them in unexpected directions, the journey becomes less about getting somewhere and more about confronting what's being left behind.
