Salty Air

A man works as a social worker in a prison. His job is to deal with the inmates and to look after the education side. One day a new file lands on his desk. The file belongs to his own father, a man convicted of murder. The father has been worn down by the long years inside. The son comes up against an account he had closed years ago. The film tells the distance between the two of them and whether it can be closed. It uses the prison not as a setting but as a space for a relationship. Giorgio Pasotti and Giorgio Colangeli take the leads in Alessandro Angelini’s Italian film of 2007.
