Synopsis

Samuele’s job is to kill chickens. In his early thirties, he is the only Italian working in that sector of a huge food company. Every day, eight hours a day. And he hates immigrants. At the same time he desperately needs the job. He will do whatever it takes to keep the only important thing in his life close to him: his six year old son Elvis. When a young Senegalese colleague saves his life something breaks in him. Because to be in debt to someone he hates is the worst thing that could happen to him.

In 2010 he wins a scholarship that allows him to attend “Scuola Holden” for the third year. He writes his first feature film PLAYGROUND, much appreciated by his tutor, the writer Alessandro Baricco, still co-operating with Adriano in financing the film. In 2011 Adriano moves to Rome and he is selected as a screenwriter at NCN LAB 2011 organized by Casa del Cinema and he receives a special mention for the screenwriting of the short film A VUOTO. He starts to co-operate with DIERO Productions shooting the short-film PUDDLES and writing his second feature film VEDERSI LE OSSA.
