Vita Altra (Life Another)

2023, Director

A Sicilian man confronts his past as two strangers embody his conflicting desires, blending reality and fantasy in a nostalgic tale of longing and change.


Made in 16 months between the areas of Milan, Rome, Brussels, Lanzarote and Sicily with the collaboration of more than 170 professionals and non, all driven by the passion of wanting to do something independent and authentic.


Cast: Mufutau Junior Yusuf, Maureen Bator, Eligio Scorsone

The film blurs reality and reverie, exploring the power of dreams reshaping actual lives. “The viewer is faced with a fresco of rupture; the director’s hand presents the fragmented plate of life before them, and it is up to each individual gaze to find the code to piece the fragments back together.’” (Massimo Pane)
