SYNOPSYS
Sunday night. Alex is an ultras, his team has just lost a game and he returns home empty-headed. He lives with his grandmother in the absence of his parents and sells Rivotril tablets to make money. It’s an evening that doesn’t take off, Alex goes down to the basement of the building, to a cellar where several guys are. A rap battle is in progress. Nemy is a girl with refined rhymes who dances confidently and sinuously. She notices Alex and seeks his understanding. Together they cross the night in a stolen car. Two solitudes that recognize each other. Their bodies brush against each other in what seems to be the beginning of a love story.
Director Statement
Sunday night is a tale of loneliness and emotional fragility set in the suburbs of a big city, Turin, between the prison and the football stadium. It is a short story, lasting only a few hours, about the lives of two teens: Alex, a sixteen-year-old boy, who has grown up too fast, emotionally fragile, and immature; Nemy, a girl who knows how to combine the carefree nature and dreams of adolescence with great self-awareness and limits she does not want to cross. We enter Alex’s life with transport and closeness. A life lived on the margins of legality, between dealing psychotropic drugs and the bleachers of the stadium, and then we enter Nemy’s world—a world of underground artists who transform cellars into stages. A Turin scene, between rap and hip hop, is very flourishing and colorful—the two brush up against each other in a flirtation that could lead to love. But Alex’s impetuousness destroys in advance what could have been.
