Vor mir der Süden

About This Movie

Vor mir der Süden is a contemplative journey through Italy’s coastline, all captured through a vintage lens and the eyes of Pepe Danquart.

It goes beyond just visuals; the atmosphere is steeped in a melancholic yet hopeful tone, reflecting a country grappling with its identity.
