Assonnati sui caldi ginocchi
Sleeping on Warm Knees
“The strange joy of living”, as the Italian poet Sandro Penna wrote, or how to make love until the end of our days. A middle-aged Cuban couple live in the countryside surrounded by animals. They do not own many belongings but they do have large doses of passion. Filmmaker Giuseppe Polerà possesses a fragile ability, capturing intimacy to sense the nature of eroticism and pleasure.
