Crossing Europe

Dafne

1 hr. 34 min. | Drama | Pegi 13

"- You can't always sleep. You must work, too.

- I can't work anymore."

Dafne has recently lost her mother – and Luigi his wife – in an accident. But whilst this 30-year-old, who was born with Down’s syndrome, is still managing to master her life with verve after the terrible disaster, her father sinks into a depression. It will take all the energy Dafne can muster to help him get back on his feet. In his second feature film, the Italian director gently reveals that coming-of-age is not necessarily a question of age.
