Roberto Citran, one of the most talented actors in contemporary Italian cinema, portrays a forlorn priest of a small Southern Italian village who is forced to celebrate mass outdoors after the old town church collapses in an earthquake. The story follows in particular his struggle to help an old woman who feels she no longer has a reason to live, a task that tests his faith. Così in terra is a powerful tale of human desperation and the need to believe that there can be purpose in every event, even the most devastating ones.

During the era of the Republic of Amalfi, Maiori was the centre of maritime trade. The orchards and gardens proliferated in the area around the wide bay, where an agricultural economy thrived. In 1954 a terrible flood destroyed the village and reconstruction profoundly changed its face. Along with its rural life, Maiori also lost its memory but some people still seek to preserve it, perhaps for the current generation. A land and sea journey on the Amalfi Coast, a window in the present that opens on to a past rich in culture and living memories.
"Costellazioni" follows three circus performers out of the spotlight.

Three stars from a single constellation, continuously moving around the globe, intertwine, linger and then separate, leaving behind a trail of light.

"Cover-boy" is the story of the friendship between Ioan and Michele, respectively Romanian and Italian. The serendipitous encounter of two worlds apart: the travails of a young man, son of the Post-Communist Revolution, who flees his country in search of a better future and the travails of another youth who instead scrapes along the margins of a Western society that is unable to offer gainful employment to so much of its youth.
