Poveri Noi

Giovanni and Maria live in a small Italian town where every day mirrors the last. He works at the local grocery store; she dreams of the sea she has never seen. Their life consists of breakfast conversations, walks along the same streets, and a quiet longing for something more. When a film crew arrives to shoot a movie, their routine begins to fracture. Giovanni accidentally becomes a stunt double, Maria meets a young cinematographer. This 2025 dramedy explores how a dream can crash into the most ordinary existence, turning everything upside down. The director balances gentle irony with tender moments, painting a portrait of people who suddenly realize they might not be as 'poveri'—as poor—as they thought.
