THE CITY OF THE LIVING
synopsis
Luca is 23. He lives with the family who adopted him and love him as their own. He spends his days with friends between the outskirts and the city centre, and has a girlfriend with whom he shares a young yet deeply meaningful love. Like many his age, Luca is searching for his place in the world, at a time when everything still seems possible and, at the same time, already lost. In the course of that search, he leads a double life. Then, one night, after what appears to be a chance encounter, the course of Luca’s life is shattered by an act of blind, senseless violence.
