"A lesson in dignity among men of another time." - IL GIORNALE

PLOT:	At the beginning of WWII, Salvatore Todaro commands the Italian Royal Navy submarine Cappellini. One dark night in October 1940, while navigating in the Atlantic, the Cappellini comes upon the armed Belgian merchant ship Kabalo sailing without lights.

DIRECTOR NOTES:
Edoardo De Angelisi was born 1978 in Naples. In 2006, he graduated from Rome’s Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia. His directorial debut was in 2011 with Mozzarella Stories, followed three years later with Perez. He won the Best Film award at the Venice Film Festival for Indivisibili. De Angelis said of this film: “The man at the helm of a Roman trireme two thousand years ago is the same as the one commanding a submarine in the Atlantic in 1940, at the height of the war. That man’s name is Salvatore and he is strong. He sinks enemy ships without fear and without pity. But the helpless enemy is no longer an enemy. He is just another man and so he saves him. Because the truly strong human being is the one capable of offering a helping hand to the weak. Salvatore knows the eternal laws that govern the sky and the sea and he knows that they are superior to any other law. Whoever saves one man, saves mankind".
