Sole and Baleno. Federico Aldrovandi. Katiuscia Favero. Giuseppe Uva. Stefano Cucchi.
Five dramatic stories which since 1998 have shaken Italy, causing debate and dividing the public awareness.
If the victim is under state custody, the search for a culprit becomes complex, the doubts creep, evidence and testimony are difficult to find.
Everyone talks about it, all lined up, and the truth seems to be moving further away.
Rosso Fiorentino wanted to look at that truth straight in the eye and he felt the urgency to communicate it, without filters. Dragging the viewer into the facts, leaving him the final judgment.
Between realism and symbolism, between reality and transfiguration, “Children like us” fits into the movie scene as a work that is necessary and long overdue, to give voice to those who can not tell their story.
Because there is no worse murderer than silence.
