Lo Scambio by Salvo Cuccia will be screened in competition at 33th Turin Film Festival. In this work Cuccia, at his first fiction film, tells a story inspired by real facts happened in the Nineties.
Palermo, 1995. A beautiful woman wanders the rooms of a smartly-furnished but barren apartment. In fervent prayer, she clings to the glimmer of hope that a boy kidnapped by the Mafia is still alive. Meanwhile, her husband is obsessed with questioning a young man he suspects conspired with two others killed that morning in the market. It soon becomes evident that his objective is not the pursuit of justice. But on this day the perpetrators of crime will not escape their destiny.
Three of the main characters, interpreted by Filippo Luna, Barbara Tabita and Paolo Briguglia, represent the heart, the brain, and the soul of the happenings. The film is also interpreted by Maziar Firouzi, Vincenzo Pirrotta, Tommaso Caporrimo, Antonio Buscemi, con l’amichevole partecipazione di Orio Scaduto.
