Commodo

Greek Premiere

Set in the vast expanse of the Foggia hinterland, Commodo begins with the mysterious disappearance of Fabrizio, triggering transformative experiences for those left behind. Among rolling hills, endless roads, and wind farms, Fabrizio’s absence becomes a catalyst for change, pushing the characters toward profound reflection and self-discovery. The narrative delves into themes such as memory, generational migration, and the tension between chosen and biological families, while also addressing the impact of substance abuse. This multifaceted exploration offers a rich, emotional journey, inviting viewers to reflect on their lives, the absence of love, and the role of institutions. Ultimately, the story provides a deep meditation on the search for truth and love.
