A film by Giacomo Tazzini
Sun. Heat. Sweat. Boredom. The Italian summer. A day like any other, for the inhabitants of a small provincial town. It's a day like any other also for Luca, a boy in his early twenties - until something absurd suddenly presents itself in front of him.
synopsis
“Tempi morti” (Dead Time) is an attempt to recount a meaningless gesture. Something useless, something that does not resolve - but also something that in its desperation and meaninglessness is actually a gesture of love.
