About the Event
Orlando film trailer HERE (there is no trailer with English subtitles. The film will play with Emglish subs)
Orlando Zurro, played by Michele Placido, has never left his Italian mountain village. At 75, he runs his little farm alone. His wife died a long time ago, and their only child, Valerio emigrated to Belgium at 20. Since then, father and son have not spoken to each other.
Even when they lived together, they didn’t share much: Orlando is a quiet man, making his voice heard when he has “something to say,” as he says in the film. But when Valerio, who is sick, calls for help, it is his face that speaks for him, and displays, in every look, every wrinkle, every breath, all the love he has for his boy. For the first time in his life, he leaves the town and travels to Brussels, only to arrive too…
