Vor mir der Süden

3,700 km of coastline, a Fiat 1100, and an old travel diary, those are the ingredients for Pepe Danquart’s documentary.

Ahead of me the South is a poetic contemporary document, a kaleidoscopic picture of the Italy of today.

Vampires

Daughter Grace yearns for humanity in a different way: applying fake tan to get rid of her vampiric pallor, dressing in pink clothes, wishing she could feel emotion and even having a human boyfriend.
