What Light of My Eyes Is About

Antonio drives wealthy clients around Rome, and in his free time he lives somewhere else entirely, on the cold planets of the science fiction novels he reads. Maria runs a small frozen food shop that is drowning in debt and is raising a young daughter on her own. He begins by watching her from a distance, then quietly enters her life, helping with the debt without ever saying what he wants. Giuseppe Piccioni films love not as a confession but as an approach, watching how close two people can get and what they have to hide while getting there. At the 2001 Venice Film Festival, Luigi Lo Cascio and Sandra Ceccarelli took the best actor and best actress prizes together.
