"A story in the pure style of Frank Capra" - LA REPUBBLICA
PLOT:	Two worlds collide on an unspoiled stretch of coastline in southern Sardinia. Efisio Mulas is a solitary shepherd, the silent guardian of a time that seems to no longer exist. He has lived there forever, between the sea and his animals, in the small house where he was born. On the other side is Giacomo, president of a powerful real estate group, a symbol of an Italy striving towards the future. He is determined to transform that coast into a luxury resort. When Efisio refuses yet another multi-million dollar offer, the negotiation turns into a legal battle which Giovanna, a judge born and raised in the area, is called upon to decide. As the pressure mounts and the community is divided between those who dream of new job opportunities and those who fear losing their identity forever, Efisio's unwavering "no" takes on a collective meaning. Unwavering in the value of his choices and the memory of those who came before him, Efisio knows that sometimes, precisely because "that's how life is," you have to stop and decide for yourself where to go.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
Riccardo Milani, born in Rome in 1958, began as an assistant director to Nanni Moretti, Mario Monticelli and Daniele Luchetti. In 1997, he made his directorial debut with the film Auguri professore, for which he was nominated Best New Director; he won the Nastro d’argento Best Comedy awards for Come un gatto in tangenziale and its sequel Come un gatto in tangenziale-Ritorno a Coccia di Morto, and also A World Apart, and Corro da te. Regarding his film, Milani said: “I owe everything to all the splendid Sardinian actors, and all the non-actors, who joined me to tell the story that is their own. And it isn’t only about a courageous decision. A courageous voice rings out and says that money can’t buy everything."
