Gabriele Santoro is a Professor of Pianoforte at the Music Conservatory San Pietro a Majella who lives in a working-class area of the city. One morning, while shaving his beard, the postman buzzes at the intercom to tell him he has a package. Gabriele opens the door and, before greeting him, runs to rinse his face. In that short space of time, a ten-year-old child slips into his apartment and hides away. “The maestro” – as he’s called in his neighbourhood – only notices the stowaway late at night. And when he sees him, he recognises the intruder as Ciro, a child who lives with his parents and siblings on the top floor of his building. When asked why he has fled his home, Ciro refuses to speak. Nevertheless, the maestro instinctively decides to hide him in his home, setting Ciro’s enemies a uniquely difficult challenge.

Lo psichiatra
17년간 식물인간으로 살다가 죽음을 앞둔 엘루아나 엔글라로가 이탈리아를 혼란에 빠뜨린다. 안락사에 대한 법안투표를 앞두고 고심하는 상원의원, 코마에 빠진 딸을 둔 유명 여배우, 자살하려는 마약중독자 여성, 이렇게 세 이야기가 치밀하게 직조되면서 삶의 의미를 묻는다.
이탈리아 거장 마르코 벨로키오의 신작은 고전 동화 를 안락사라는 민감한 문제와 접목시켜 연출한 수작이다. 거장의 지휘하에 절묘한 리듬으로 편집되는 세 개의 독립된 이야기는 안락사에 대한 다양한 입장을 제시함으로써 우리의 성찰을 도모한다. 영화는 수수께끼 같은 측면이 있어 더욱 빛을 발한다. ‘잠자는 미녀’가 셋 등장하지만 감독이 선택한 한 명만이 잠에서 깨어나게 되는 것이다. 이런 의미에서 영화의 첫 숏은 조심스럽게 열쇠를 제시한다. 2008년 11월 실제 있었던 사건을 토대로 한 영화로, 이자벨 위페르, 토니 세르빌로, 알바 로바허 등 쟁쟁한 배우들의 연기 또한 볼 만하다.

October 28, 1971: Rossellini, back from Santiago, Chile, reads a newspaper reports of a beached whale on the Pacific coast near a poor village inhabited by fishermen. From this simple news comes a film script for a fable about wealth and poverty.
