Vicino al fiume (2004)

It is a great love story told through the eyes of a photographer, Zefferino, who returns to Italy as an emigrant to America, because he wants to make a photographic book about his land. The first to meet him is Lucia, 11 years old, who is fascinated, both by the character and by his tales about the Indians. Over the years Lucia, now a mature girl, gives this passion for American Indians to her younger brother, Carlindo. From him the events develop and the meeting with Egeria, who will become the love of his life, is only the apex of their existence. The historical events of the past century are the background to the lives of the protagonists of the stories, which intersect with each other until they become clear and simple again when time passes and flows.
