HOME WHO WE ARE CINEMA TELEVISION CATALOG NEWS SALT CONTACTS INVESTORS ASPROMONTE THE LAND OF THE LEAST Director: Mimmo Calopreste Cast: Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Marcello Fonte, Francesco Colella, Marco Leonardi, Sergio Rubini In cinemas from November 21, 2019 An Italian International Film production with Rai Cinema Distribuzione Italia : Italian International Film International distribution : Minerva Pictures Africo 1951. A town perched in the Aspromonte. Isolated. A woman dies in childbirth: the doctor never arrived and there is no road to reach the Navy where the doctor and the institutions are. The whole town, men, women and children, flows like a river in flood on paths, mule tracks, sheep tracks. An angry mass that claims a doctor: "We are not beasts" is the desperate cry addressed to the authorities. While everyone is at the Navy, impressed by an unknown world and by the sea, the teacher (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) arrives in a country that appears deserted, welcomed by the Poet (Marcello Fonte), the only one who reads and writes and appreciates the isolation and the beauty of Africo. Despite the written promise extorted from the prefect (Francesco Siciliano), the Africans are not standing idle. They decide to build the road themselves and begin to 'toil' on the stones even after having worked all day in the arid fields and with the animals. The children - including 9-year-old Andrea, son of Peppe (Francesco Colella), a simple laborer, but a charismatic person who is very much listened to - participate in the construction and would not want to be in the classroom. The enthusiasm dies out soon: for different reasons, neither Don Totò, the local bandit (Sergio Rubini), nor the prefect, accept that Africans will build their own path. Clashes, seizure of tools, arrest of Cosimo (Marco Leonardi): the tension is at its maximum. This road must not be taken. But Peppe and his fellow villagers do not accept intimidation and Don Totò shoots and wounds Peppe. Andrea, all alone and armed with a rifle, looks for him in the mountains to avenge his father and restore his sense of justice. Other crimes, but nothing changes in Africo and all that remains is to leave.
