Life is Life
Original Title: La vita va così
Completed in: 2025
Synopsis:
At the dawn of the new millennium, two distant destinies collide on an unspoiled stretch of coastline in southern Sardinia.
Efisio Mulas is a solitary shepherd, silent guardian of a time that seems no longer to exist. He has always lived there, between the sea and his animals, in the small house where he was born.
On the other side stands Giacomo, president of a powerful real estate group, symbol of an Italy racing toward the future. He is determined to transform that coast into a luxury resort.
