An endless journey to Herself

The actor symbol of a revitalized Italian comedy, involved in two diverse characters together: strongly featuring an Italian and a stateless, looking for a home and an identity.

Herself is engaged in Italians E Eden is West. “In the first case“, says the actor “I do a character with a strong Italian character, the second the opposite because the Costa Gavras film revolves around a man, Elias, we do not know where it comes from. The film deliberately not say it: interpret the word emigrant universal“.

Eden is West will contest Berlino and distributed in Italy by Jellyfish. “Thanks to this film, I discovered yet more about the world of immigrants who live a social hardship which can only leave a deep pain. On the set, For example, I met a very nice Afghan boy who tried to reach her brother in Italy. His parents had died in the bombing, yet in his eyes I saw hope I have not seen for some time. Emigrants, unlike us who are pessimistic, believe in a better world. In Italy such a thing is perhaps the last time that happened only in 1968″, says l'attore. While about the greek says director: “Besides being a myth, for me is above all a friend and a man who, a 75 years, has retained a sense of ethics, a moral rigor that forces you to deal with yourself, to question“.

Migration adds “is a complicated phenomenon that suggests. I, eg, with my passport I can go where I want; even in countries whose inhabitants can not move instead. However we can not solve the problem by taxing the non-, nor can block the flow instead be managed as to be managed and supported also the shelters that someone wants to eliminate the other hand. There is a moral duty towards these people who come to us hungry and with nothing. You can not turn a blind eye“.

Scamarcio is in Rome where he is doubling Eden is West: “Remains fundamentally a comedy with moments of great pain. The final? I can only say it will be a bit’ Fantasy“.
