The Substance of Days (2022)
March 2020. In a remote farmhouse, the life and story of a former black terrorist serving a life sentence intertwine with those of other people: a horse trainer, a father who finds his daughters after many years, a film crew from another generation, and the owner of the farmhouse. While waiting for the prisoner to return to prison, they spend a season together, surrounded by cows, vipers, and wolves.
Directors: SANTABELVA, Gianvito Cofano, Saverio Cappiello, Nikola Lorenzin, Henry Albert.
