PALOMBELLA ROSSA

Michele, busy making faces at the wheel of his car, crashes into another vehicle and loses his memory. Trying to find out who he is, he rediscovers himself as a water polo player, a member of the Italian Communist Party, a lover of cinema and words, and a player clumsy enough to make his team lose a penalty kick.

Location: a 1950s swimming pool in a Sicilian town. Action : a water polo match, the director's favorite sport. Time: the duration of a match. From these three classic units, Moretti settles some accounts with his country and his time.
