About L'estate di Davide
At 19, David has his diploma (the first in his family), a job at a car wash, and little else. His family is broke and argues constantly. So, unannounced, David leaves Turin for his uncle's farm in Polesine. Here he learns many life lessons over the course of a summer while hanging out with Bosnian drug dealer Alem and Patrizia, an older woman who's an addict.
Directed by Carlo Mazzacurati, L'estate di Davide leans on a strong ensemble — Stefano Campi, Patrizia Piccinini, Toni Bertorelli — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 1998.
