2009
"La Pivellina" is a film about a cosmos of outcasts in present day Italy. A tale of courage and discrimination, of loss and sharing together, a look behind the corrugated iron fence of a gated community. (Festival information)
Like Moses in the basket, a two years old abandoned child is found and cared for by an old circus princess. In a convincing artistically, improvising and documentary style the film shows people on the border of society, who give shelter to a stranger by bringing warmth and happiness into hers and their own lives.
