Salvo



Fabio Grassadonia & Antonio Piazza : 2013

A hitman for the Sicilian Mafia, Salvo is solitary, cold and ruthless. When he sneaks into a house to eliminate a man, he discovers Rita, a young blind girl who powerlessly stands by while her brother is assassinated. Salvo tries to close those disturbing eyes, staring at him yet unseeing. Something impossible happens. Rita's eyes see for the first time. Salvo decides to spare her life. From then on, these two beings, both haunted by the world they belong to, are linked together forever. Fabio Grassadonia & Antonio Piazza's first feature won the Grand Prix Nespresso and Prix Révélation France 4 awards at Semaine de la Critique du Festival de Cannes 2013.
