Mine Vaganti


Mine Vaganti (Italy, 2010) dir. Ferzan Ozpetek

At the centre of the film is the Cantone family, from Lecce in southern Italy. The family owns a successful company which produces dried pasta. Tommaso, the younger son, lives in Rome and studies literature. He wants to be a writer but his father intends for him to take over the family business with his brother, Antonio. Neither brother wants this fate for himself. The film examines the difficulty of family relationships, both personally and professionally.
The film features scenes in the warehouse of the pasta company and there are also a number of dialogues discussing the nature of the family-run business in Italy.
