MARTIN EDEN
by Pietro Marcello
Martin Eden struggles to rise above his destitute, proletarian circumstances through an intense and passionate pursuit of self-education, hoping to achieve a place among the literary elite.
In this sombre moral drama, Adriana is a young woman from the country who gets caught up in the tempestuous temptations of the big city. She has a series of affairs that are just for fun, but she becomes depressed when she desperately looks for a more meaningful relationship.
Olmo, eighty years old, looks out of the window of a building in the suburban area of a city. His eighty-year-old grandson Giulio is reading him an article from the newspaper about melting glaciers, the greenhouse effect, methane and CO2... “What is C-O-2?” asks the child. “Do you remember the carbon dioxide we studied?” says Grandpa. “The one the trees breathe?” asks Giulio. The day after, they’re leaving for a short tour instead of going to school, searching for an old tree.
