Agostino

Dea madre

In 2018, Italian archaeologist Leandro Salvia returns to war-torn Iraq in search of an invaluable artifact: the statue of the Mother Goddess, a symbol of the most ancient Mesopotamian civilizations.

Accompanied by David Zaki, a Kurdish guide with a troubled past, Leandro navigates a shattered country filled with landmines, unscrupulous art dealers, and the haunting remnants of war. Their investigation leads them to Mosul, where they meet Sarah, a young woman on the run, and Aicha, a mysterious figure who may hold the key to their quest. As they face chases, gunfights, and betrayals, their journey becomes a race against time to recover the statue before it falls into the wrong hands. But in a world scarred by violence, the truth about the Mother Goddess will prove far more shocking than they ever imagined.

The Move

Based on the novel by Georges Simenon.
Executive Producer John Simenon.

Emilio lives a happy life. He has a nice family, a job and now he can finally realize his dream: to leave the narrow streets of the center and move into the house he bought in a new and sparkling suburb. While his wife Bianca and his teenage son Alessandro seem to slide happily into the new routine, Emilio feels the doubt of the wrong choice. His sense of inadequacy is fed by the new neighbors. Listening to their erotic games through the wall, torn between discomfort and excitement, soon becomes an obsession for Emilio, who increasingly disconnects from reality.

Les Italiens

In the Argentine Pampas in the early 1980s, a mysterious Italian traveler tells two young lovers the story of a summer that seemed destined never to end: Saint-Tropez, 1968, the golden age of music, art, cinema, fashion, glamour, and freedom. At the heart of the tale is Gigi Rizzi, a charming twenty-four-year-old playboy—elegant yet reckless—who, together with his friends Beppe and Franco, Les Italiens, rules the nights of the French Riviera and ultimately steals the heart of the ultimate icon: Brigitte Bardot. Their passionate and impossible love affair, chronicled by tabloids around the world, becomes a fleeting moment of pure light—an eternal “now,” without past or future, lived as if the world would never change.

But summer, like every dream, must end. The revolution of ’68 reaches Saint-Tropez, reality reclaims its place, and Gigi is left alone, carrying with him the lingering scent of an illusion that will stay forever. As the train departs through the Pampas, the two young listeners are unsure whether to believe the story—but in the glow of the sunset, the doubt remains that it might all be true. Because perhaps, somewhere, summer never really ended.

Pompei – The Ancient Domina in Abbondanza Street

The dream of eternal beauty, art as a common thread of history and human restlessness. The vitality of a woman determines the course of events over the centuries. Set in four distinct and distant eras, a “villa”, of the legendary Pompeian Via dell’Abbondanza, rebuilt and frescoed with the help of the most modern digital special effects, “Pompei” is the new work by Giuseppe Gaudino, one of the most eccentric and visionary talents of Italian cinema.
