film profile], Venice 2010) latest venture, is set to start towards the end of March. Produced by Eskimo (which is also working on Guido Lombardi’s second film, Take Five – read the news story), the film tells the story of two people meeting with their “shoulders against the wall” in a landscape covered by snow, in an Italian province. He is a man on a journey in a station wagon, perhaps looking for the fruits of a robbery; she is a coloured woman, offloaded, then followed by a gangster from whom she has most probably taken something rather precious. The cast includes Roberto De Francesco, Esher Elisha, Massimiliano Gallo, Antonella Attili and Angela Pagano.
