Corte

Six millennials meet renowned writer Noel Riccardi at an old workers' holiday settlement in the Italian Alps.
Noel, curious about the younger generation, invites them to join him for an evening of food, drinks, and debate.
However, the discussion soon takes a heated turn as political disagreements spark a generational clash. When tensions peak, Noel responds with a cowardly act of violence. 
The following morning, another friend of the group arrives and joins Maria, who has developed an affinity for the older intellectual. Together, they pay him a visit.

Set against a backdrop with a clear historical context and its continuity into the present, the filmmaker precisely and playfully captures a series of contradictory relationships.
Using a versatile and fluid audiovisual language, the film presents a highly contemporary dialogue and conflict.
The abrupt, violent conclusion carries a spontaneous insight, highlighting a powerful and engaging inquiry into generational and power dynamics—a humorous and daring experiment.
