Fortuna granda: the search for one’s own space in an already written future

Set in Goro, at the bottom of the Po Delta; Great luck is an investigative documentary film, driven by the need to give space to the voice of the young local boys.

In an apparently closed world surrounded by water, four sixteen-year-old boys (Alessandro, Gioele, Matteo and Samuel) enrolled in a professional institute (opened to combat early school leaving), prepare to do their parents’ job. Poised between school and work, they move around looking for their own space in a future that seems already written.

A film that looks at the adult community through the naive eyes of young teenagers. Indeed, as stated by the directors themselves Gotthard e F. Sironi:

We weren’t interested in analyzing the kids, studying them. It is rather in the adherence to the voice of the protagonists, to their point of view, that we wanted to give shape to the film. The Delta we saw with them is not landscape: it is habit, wall or game. This is why we have not tried to aestheticize the natural context. Or the school, which is complex, anti-rhetorical, has no easy positions.
