Siccità

In a dystopian present, it hasn't rained in Rome for three years and a series of characters must cope with the drought that has reduced water reserves to a minimum and with an epidemic of sleeping sickness carried by cockroaches. The lack of water is overturning rules and habits. Through the city dying of thirst and prohibitions moves a chorus of people, young and old, marginalized and successful, victims and profiteers. Their lives are linked in a single design, while each seeks his or her deliverance.

Director: Paolo Virzi
Drama, Italy, 2022, 124 min.
