Movie

Land of the Sons

2021 · 118 min

A hushed, austere trudge through a ruined world, more mood and mystery than momentum.

Directed by: Claudio Cupellini
Genres: Science fiction
Starring: Leon de La Vallée, Paolo Pierobon, Maria Roveran

Overview: Civilisation is coming to an end. The death of his only relative gives a feral boy the pretext to journey beyond the confines of his home environment; only by doing this will he be able to decipher his father's journal, the most valuable artefact in his legacy. This singular contribution to the post-apocalyptic sci-fi genre tells of a humanity in crisis, while at the same time conveying the adventurous spirit of adolescence.
