墨索里尼的新城镇Sabaudia充斥着颓废的气氛, 艾希欧(Elio Germano饰演) 和他的哥哥玛瑞科 (Riccardo Scamarcio饰演)生活在一起在残存的砖瓦建筑中。艾希欧是一个不合时宜的反叛分子,他不管他的父母和兄弟的反对加入了新法西斯主义MSI党。而玛瑞科是一个左翼人士。影片通过两兄弟的政见矛盾表现了当时小镇的社会背景,从而反映了当时的政治现状和社会现状。影片也再现了二十世纪六七十年代意大利的社会创伤和生活风情。宛如耀眼恒星般的哥哥,在左派舞台闪动着让支持者神魂颠倒的魅力;原本遁入神学院就读的男主角,却在哥哥不怀好意带来的艳星照片‘折腾’下,放弃了与上帝接触的机会。影片藉由兄弟、情人、家庭关系的变迁,侧写义大利近二十年的历史。剧本出自《灿烂时光》同一人手笔,只不过篇幅更精简一点,热情与曲折仍是一本初衷。
SynopsisIn the Allegory of the Cave, Plato ponders: what would happen if one of the prisoners managed to free themselves from their chains and escape from the cave? What if that prisoner were Jay, a little 7-year-old boy?Director’s statementWhat lies behind the daily movement of a city? Last winter, we met in Paris and began discussing the Allegory of the Cave, as told in Plato’s Republic. The myth imagines humanity living in chains, facing the back of a cave, and watching shadows move on the walls, thinking it is reality. We both work with images, which certainly can be illusions, but can also become instruments of struggle and liberation of thought. So, from this discussion, we decided to create a short film. We had a few fixed ideas—the cave, the dance, the city bustling around us—and one question: what would happen if we all managed to turn together towards the exit of the cave? Perhaps it is not enough to assert that images are illusions as long as the chains that bind us are real.
