Dieci inverni (Ten Winters) Directed by Valerio Mieli, 2009, 90 minutes
It is the winter of 1999 and a water boat crosses the foggy Venetian lagoon. Camilla, a timid 18 year-old, arrives from a country town to study Russian literature and notices Silvestro in the crowd at the dock. Silvestro is also 18 and immature but hides his inexperience behind a naïve cockiness. He also notices Camilla and secretly follows her to her destination. Their encounter marks the beginning of a 10 year adventure filled with heart-wrenching reunions and missed opportunities. Dieci Inverni is the prelude to a love story narrated through 10 winters; each winter is a beautifully crafted window into the lives of two people who grow independently, but always come back to each other.
Dieci Inverni represents the debut of Valerio Mieli as a director and shows a unique narrative maturity that granted him the David di Donatello award for best new director in 2010.
