Alessandro Rossetto : 2013
Small Homeland
Two young girls, a hot, stifling summer, the desire to run away from a small provincial town. Luisa is full of life, uninhibited, unconventional. Renata is dark, angry and in need of love. The lives of the two young women is a tale of blackmail, of a love betrayed, of violence. Luisa uses Bilal, her Albanian boyfriend, Renata uses Luisa's body to orchestrate her revenge. Both want to leave the small community that raised them, amongst local festivals and nationalist rallies, exhausted families and new generations of migrants targeted by those still feeling threatened. Luisa, Renata and Bilal will run the risk of losing themselves, of losing a precious part of themselves, of losing the people they love, of losing their life. The film premiered at La Biennale di Venezia 2013, and received its international premiere at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2014.
