Post-film talk-back with the director Salvatore Mereu.

 

Join us for an extraordinary portrait of a vanishing way of life, followed by a talkback with writer/director, Salvatore Mereu. Raffaele, an elderly farmer, has been in the countryside for days with his cache of wheat, which will feed him for the coming year. The young boy Angelino who visits every day and dreams of riding Raffaele’s mare, represents the future, less attuned to nature than to the modern world. Gorgeously photographed on Sardinia, the director’s homeland.
