Drowning (2026)
Pietro is driving to Puglia with Jacopo, his autistic son, when their car suddenly breaks down. They are helped by Oliviero, a local mechanic, and are able to stay with Agata, who owns a bar that once rented out rooms. Gaia, who helps Agata run the bar, develops a close relationship with Pietro. The pace of life in the small village is very slow and monotonous, like a long wait for something to happen, until something distressing does, stopping Pietro and Jacopo from resuming their journey.
