It is said that laughter is at its best when a smile breaks through tears. The name of the Italian-born world citizen Andrea Magnani should not be unknown to the audiences of PÖFF. Those who still remember the director’s wonderfully convivial debut “Easy” which was screened at the festival in 2017 and in which a sissy who has come to love food too much is suddenly placed in front of big life choices can probably guess the direction that the director’s new film may take.
For young Giacinto, prison is like home. It would indeed be more correct to say that prison is his only home, because the little boy has been born in prison and has spent his entire life in prison with his mother. Prison is the place where Giacinto truly breathes and lives, as that’s the place where he has been born, learnt to walk and love. As soon as the prison doors close behind him, the young man feels that life outside the prison walls is not for him. At the first opportunity, he escapes from the outside back to prison, his home, where he can feel safe from the dangerous outside world. But upon reaching adulthood, Giacinto has to make an important decision...
According to the director, the film was inspired by his own youth years in a small Italian town that felt like a prison to his young self, but was still so dear.
This immensely warm comedy with its scarce dialogue and silent film elements knows what the audience expects from a film in difficult times. It is simply brimming with human warmth that we so desperately need today.

有人说,当微笑冲破泪水时,笑声是最好的。意大利出生的世界公民Andrea Magnani的名字不应该为PÖFF的观众所知。那些还记得这位导演在2017年电影节上放映的精彩欢乐的处女作《轻松》的人,可能会猜测这位导演的新电影可能会走向何方。
对于年轻的贾辛托来说,监狱就像家。说监狱是他唯一的家确实更正确,因为这个小男孩出生在监狱里,一生都和母亲一起在监狱里度过。监狱是贾辛托真正呼吸和生活的地方,因为那是他出生、学会走路和爱的地方。监狱门一关上,年轻人就觉得监狱围墙外的生活不适合他。一有机会,他就从外面逃回监狱,他的家,在那里他可以从危险的外部世界中感到安全。但成年后,贾辛托必须做出一个重要的决定。。。
据导演介绍,这部电影的灵感来自他自己在意大利一个小镇的青年时代,这个小镇对他年轻的自己来说就像一座监狱,但仍然很珍贵。
这部非常温暖的喜剧,对话和无声电影元素很少,知道观众在困难时期对电影的期望。它只是充满了我们今天迫切需要的人类温暖。
