Summer of Giacomo
This first feature film by Alessandro Comodin is a perfect portrayal of youth. It’s summertime in the countryside of Northeast Italy. Giacomo is a 19-year-old deaf boy. One day, he and Stefania, a friend from childhood, go to the river to have a picnic. The two youths wander so far from the trodden paths that they finally get lost. They find themselves alone and free during an afternoon that could last the entire summer. Sensuality intermingles with their childhood games until Stefania and Giacomo become aware that the adventure they’re living together is nothing but a memory, both sweet and bitter, of a time already lost.
