Friday June 23rd at 7PM
After forty years of exile in Argentina, Roberto, a blind novelist, comes back to Naples. Guided by his brother Lorenzo, a failed musician, he starts a journey of memory through the city of his youth. Though he cannot longer see, he perceives it through his remaining senses, his memories, and his imagination, in search of the tragic reason behind his departure.
Presented at the 2021 Turin Film Festival in the non-competitive programme, Santa Lucia won Best Film at the Edera Film Festival in 2022.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with film director and writer Marco Chiappetta.
