Cinema about brotherly friendship and the meaning of life Big boys, big dreams, big problems. Nominated for best feature film and an excellent acting prize for Giuseppe Battiston and Stefano Fresino at the Turin Festival. The story of brotherly friendship and big dreams, which sometimes we need no less than air to live.
The quiet life of a clumsy and elderly mama's son Mario, who works as a salesman in a construction store, is disrupted by the news of the troubles of Dario's brother, whom he saw only once in his life. Despite his mother’s admonitions, he goes to his brother’s aid. As it turned out, Dario is obsessed with the idea of flying to the moon and during the next attempt there was a fire and explosion at the launch complex, which polluted a little district. Neighbors look at Dario with apprehension, for he is rather unsociable, aggressive, and seems to be "not at all in himself." Mario’s first desire to escape, having handed over a half-witted brother to the care of doctors, passes and the bonds of kinship and some brotherhood of two loneliness lead to the friendship of these very similar and very different people. . .
We will not reveal all the cards, but an attentive viewer will easily find an explanation for the behavior of the characters in childhood. Another reason is the longing of the busy and quiet Italian province for big things. Dario is not accidentally obsessed with a dream, it seems that he can not live without a big dream and once says Mario, finally conquering his heart, in other words, but about the same as Hamlet once said:
What is a man when he is only occupied with sleeping and eating? Animal, no more. He who created us with a thought so vast, looking forward and backward, did not put in us a godlike mind to idlely mold it.
In general, the movie is worth watching if you are in a lyrical and a little complacent mood. Very slow, beautiful, a little sentimental and touching.
