21:00 presentation of the project

"When Andrea was a child, he had a hero named Rino. He was his neighbour, and had been a partisan and a migrant in Switzerland. He was proud to be a communist, and was different from everyone else without being presumptuous. Andrea knows that many of his life choices, including his decision to become a filmmaker, were influenced by the figure of Rino. These days, Rino is elderly and sugars from Alzheimer’s. Andrea must rebuild his relationship with his old hero and his wife Lina. And he discovers that the end of the Resistance was multifaceted indeed."
