Vito Mistretta

Sicily, July 1943. At dawn on Operation Husky, photojournalist Robert Capa and a young Italian American soldier find themselves isolated in the Sicilian countryside. An encounter with a humble farmer and his son transforms a forced stop into a moment of suspension from the conflict, culminating in a photograph that will become a symbol of the Italian Campaign.

Children of Icarus is an emotional and temporal journey through a disorienting Milan. A group of teenagers put their lives on the line by exploring the city from unusual perspectives. In their urban pilgrimage, they pursue a new form of freedom, in open contrast to a world that seems to deny them a future.
