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.

Les Italiens

In the Argentine Pampa of the early 1980s, a mysterious Italian traveler tells two young lovers the story of a summer that seemed as if it would never end: Saint-Tropez, 1968 — the time of gold, music, and freedom. At the heart of the tale is Gigi Rizzi, a handsome and reckless twenty-four-year-old who, together with his friends, conquers the nights of the French Riviera — until he steals the heart of the ultimate icon: Brigitte Bardot. Their love, passionate and impossible, becomes a fleeting moment of pure light — a timeless “now” without past or future, lived as if the world would never change.

But summer, like every dream, must end. Revolution reaches Saint-Tropez too, reality takes its place, and Gigi finds himself alone, carrying with him the lingering scent of an illusion that will stay with him forever. When the train departs again across the Pampa, the two young lovers are unsure whether to believe the story — yet, in the glow of the sunset, the doubt remains that it might all be true. Because perhaps, somewhere, that summer never truly ended.
