Casablancadi Adriano Valerio
Fouad, figlio dell'Imam di un quartiere popolare di Casablanca, è in Italia senza documenti da dieci anni, in attesa di cure mediche. Daniela proviene da una famiglia pugliese esoterica dell'alta borghesia. Ex tossicodipendente, prova una profonda solitudine. Si trovano per caso in Umbria. Ed entrambi, senza esitazione, affermano di essersi salvati la vita reciprocamente. Quell'incontro è l'inizio di un amore che li aiuta a guarire al ritmo lento delle stagioni e dei riti quotidiani, un luogo sospeso che danza nel tempo. Tuttavia, con il passare degli anni, Fouad si stanca di aspettare i documenti, stremato da un ambiente a cui sente di non poter mai appartenere. Tornerà a Casablanca, anche se questo significherà non rientrare più in Italia?
Fouad, son of the Imam of a popular neighborhood in Casablanca, has been clandestine in Italy for ten years, awaiting medical treatment. Daniela comes from an upper middle-class family of esotericists from Puglia. A former drug addict, she lives in great loneliness. They met by chance in Umbria, and they both claim without hesitation that the other saved their life. Their meeting is the beginning of a love that helps them heal to the slow rhythm of seasons and daily rituals, a suspended place that dances in time. Yet, over the years, Fouad gets tired of waiting for his Visa, exhausted by an environment he feels he will never belong to. Is he going to return to Casablanca, even if that means never going back to Italy?
