Oscar, not quite a child anymore, scavenges for scrap metal for his father. He spends his life in improvised landfills among what remains of leftovers. Worlds apart, yet close-by, there is Stanley. He tidies the church in exchange for a monetised hospitality, picks fruits, herds sheep: anything that keep his foreign body busy. Oscar, the young Sicilian, and Stanley the Nigerian don’t seem to have much in common. Except for the feeling of being thrown into the world, to suffer the same refusal, the same overwhelming wave of choices imposed on them by others.

[FF Gent] The director shows an arid, unwelcoming Sicily. The protagonists do not live, they survive. Oscar and Stanley only look at the present, because they have no future. Their lives intersect only once, in a meeting that seems forced. The film walks between fiction and documentary. There are four scriptwriters, so this is a "performed" reality. But it doesn't matter, because it exudes truth and honesty.
