Marco (35), aka Bambù, is a pornographic film director. From the outside, his life may appear captivating: a lovely house, some notoriety in his field, yet the outward appearance hides the desperation he feels inside. He is far from being the perfect father, and he drifts him further away from his family so much that he misses his daughter’s birthday once again. Every day his emotional numbing toward his family grows and prevents him from getting closer. Marco takes all this frustration on his job as he obsessively looks for the perfect actress for his movie to fill the void inside. One day, during an audition, he meets a young girl named Lucy (21). She presents herself as the girl next door, but she has a plan in mind. Lucy knows very well you do not get paid when you do an audition; as soon as she understands that Marco is attracted to her, she asks him to compensate her for the sex scenes they are about to shoot. Because Marco is intrigued and captivated by her, he agrees to it without hesitation. However, he also wants to learn who Lucy is and her secrets. After the casting, he follows her and learns something about her that will make him choose between helping Lucy and taking his responsibilities or acting indifferently and fleeing, as he always did with his family.

Scaltri Ingenui is the name we have chosen for our documentary. The reference to Italo Svevo's doubles allows us to delve more lucidly into the story of these young individuals. Intense and genuine emotions arise as they rediscover their inner beauty, and experience it together with others. Casa Accoglienza, a community within Casa del Giovane in Pavia, is the place that enables this rebirth, this radical transformation. In essence, the combination of cunning and naivety shows an individual's hidden talent that can emerge with the right support and appreciation. Cunning arises from the necessity to protect oneself from external difficulties and past lack of support. Their street life has hardened them, yet behind those tough expressions and attitudes, one can still glimpse the naivety of the youth. The documentary focuses on the unique personalities of these young individuals and their humanity, aiming to challenge the negative stereotypes often associated with them. It is an emotional and engaging journey through their lives, showcasing the phases of redemption and change facilitated by the support and commitment of an inclusive and welcoming community. We want to demonstrate that community can be a crucial resource for the recovery of these individuals, through support, guidance, and the promotion of their talents and passions. You will come to realize that salvation lies in the eyes of the beholder. AWARDS:

Do you wish to know what happen in a future? A folklore often tells us a banal and mundane life that is a timeless matter with a strange event with a trickster. If people remember it, it’s because its strangeness. Otherwise, it can be only a passing event that we never pay attention to, and forget it among busy daily events. A Japanese monk walks with “Shakujou” that is a long stick with brass rings on a top, while he practices in a mountain. Every step he walks on his path, the sound of metal rings make a mark on his life. Marks are a flow of time to the death, moment by moment, no matter something happens, or not. This is a story of the time a candle is lit. “Yuke” is a foretelling that fashioned in the 7th century in Japan. You stand at a corner of a crossroad and listen to words of passersby’s at a dusk dark enough time you couldn’t tell who are those passersby. You bring those words to a foreteller. She will tell what you want to know. Voices come to you are no one’s voice but comes from other world, demons, sprits and gods, through passersby. Isn't this a lot like what you would say on your psychoanalyst's bed? The shrine maiden who wishes to listen voices and stands at a corner of a crossroad this evening. AWARDS:
