L’OSSERVATORE DELL’EST

The film follows Federico, an eighty-year-old impoverished nobleman deeply rooted in Risorgimento ideals. He purchases a cheap apartment in Gorizia, which overlooks Piazza della Transalpina. The low price becomes clear when he discovers a man sitting on the Slovenian side of the border, who stares intently at his windows every day.

For Federico, this daily occurrence transforms into a challenge he feels compelled to confront. The narrative explores his responses to this unique situation, highlighting themes of observation and personal resolve. As a contemporary piece, it may attract those interested in character-driven stories that reflect on historical contexts and individual experiences.
