Il mio corpo

synopsis

Michele Pennetta's lyrical and melancholic docu-drama follows two young men living separate but equally tough hardscrabble lives on the margins of Sicilian society. Oscar dreams of escaping the grip of his father whom he helps collect scrap metal in unauthorised dumps. Stanley, a Nigerian refugee, works in a local church and then as a farmhand to survive. During a fleeting moment of connection, we come to realise how much the two share.
