Movida
Alessandro Padovani / Italy / 2020 / 68 min / Colour
Children play war in the abandoned houses of a mountain village. The teenagers Tommaso and Riccardo build a motorized tricycle, spending the summer with other kids in the parking lots and sheds in ruins. Lorenzo is their contemporary, and the son of a transhumant shepherd, but he doesn't want to continue his father's job. He would rather spend a summer like his peers. The Belluno area is one Italy's rapidly depopulating provinces. Movida, through the eyes of the children and young people who live there, tells of this generational shift and its delicate balance and the drive towards less uncertain prospects of life and the call of one's roots and affections, with a story that passes from through bloodlines.
