A nord sul vuoto

No pun intended - sometimes words do not mean what you (I) may think they mean. I thought vacio means vacation - couldn't be more wrong as I found out (means something in the vain of empty). Now the movie itself is anything but empty (doesn't mean you may feel a kind of emptiness while/during or after watching the movie) ... no matter the direction you watch it from (norte means north).

The movie is quite harsh - feels like reality and the life of our characters is not easy. And authorities are not making it easier for them - actually the opposite is the case. Sometimes life can be frustrating - and the movie does show some of those times - is that another pun? Well anyhow, the movie is really well done and a small jewel of sorts ...
