Michele Aiello

Sainey will go blind in a few years due to a degenerative disease. He is determined to learn as many things as possible to prepare himself to live in the dark.

Brescia, March 2020. The Spedali Civili, the city's public hospital, suddenly finds itself inundated with patients. In the best tradition of direct cinema, Michele Aiello manages to document a moving slice of life, and to film, at the worst moments of this collective tragedy, the unprecedented reports that unite patients and health personnel in the face of the unknown.
