The Power of the Past
2002, Italian. Directed by Piergiorgio Gay.
Forty-year-old Gianni Orzan is satisfied with the life he has built for himself. He lives with his wife Anna, a very sweet woman, and their son Francesco. An encounter with a strange stranger who claims to know things about his father, a fascist soldier, throws Gianni's equilibrium into crisis, forcing him to make a lucid analysis of who he is and who he would have liked to become.
