LAND SUN VOICES
Genre: Dramatic-operaist comedy
Direction: Andrea Brusa and Marco Scotuzzi. With Giovanni Storti, Alessandra Faiella, David Calgaro
Giovanni Storti, protagonist of “The single voices”.
Probably the most curious of the trio, and the most willing to get involved, Giovanni Storti (without his associates Aldo and Giacomo) grapples with his most surprising role, that offoundry worker forced to emigrate to Poland to keep his job. Leaving his wife and child in Italy.
To guide him in this test two young rookies, Andrea Brusa and Marco Scotuzzi for whom Giovanni had already starred in the short Magic Alps: them the idea of closing the film in only two rooms – the houses from which husband and wife exchange video calls – with the semi-deserted factory marking the times and remembering with its own “inhumanity” (between cranes and blast furnaces the man is even more minute and abandoned) the loneliness and estrangement of the migrant worker.

The script takes advantage of the recipes and home advice of the wife to her slightly clumsy husband, which the son posts on the internet, to involve the family in the game of appearances that media popularity can give, but more than a parable about the volatility of social media and the ‘hatred that they trigger (the “lonely voices” of the title), the film is striking for the portrait of a humanity somewhat resigned to defeatwhich Giovanni Storti and Alessandra Faiella know how to give a credibility that leaves its mark.
For those who want to be surprised by an unpublished Giovanni.
