, has never left his Italian mountain village. At 75, he runs his little farm alone. His wife died a long time ago, and their only child, Valerio, dreaming of other ways of living, emigrated to Belgium at 20. Since then, father and son have not spoken to each other.
“Daniele Vicari is a director who knows exactly how to tell the story of two seemingly contrasting worlds while managing to build a bridge between them. In ‘Orlando’ he shows us that the future must not forget the past, and that the past must be capable of looking to the future,” coproducer Federico Pedroni of RAI Cinema explained in Turin.
The challenge of Zurro, “who can barely read and write, and only speaks his dialect,” is to learn to cope with a world where he has no reference points. “The meeting with Lyse completes this journey because she ‘is’ Brussels in the sense that she is the future. She lives fully in this future that he had never considered before,” Vicari said.
To compose this character, Placido – a self-taught actor and director, who released his latest directorial effort “Caravaggio’s Shadow” in November – called on memories. “Laura Muccino and Sara Casani, who cast the film, looked everywhere,” Vicari said. “We saw Italian girls in Italy, in France, in Belgium, and in a few Eastern European countries. When Angelica came in – and this is always what happens with great actors – just by the way she walked towards us, you could tell she was the character. She still has a lot to learn, but she did a very difficult thing for her age: she didn’t play herself. She interpreted.
