Dry

Three drought years have left Rome unrecognizable. The shortage gave rise to strict laws and changed the face of society. Through the story of several characters, we observe this futuristic reality with a combination of commonality and irony. Paolo Virzì intertwines several stories to examine Italian society with a critical and loving eye. Without slipping into sentimentality and without boundless cynicism, the result translates the climate crisis into a canny and thought-provoking film.
