In this tender, melancholy tale of desperation and desire, pregnant Polish teen Lena has traveled to Italy to sell her baby to racketeer Fabio and his wife. Dodging anti-surrogacy regulations, Fabio pays nephew Ermanno to watch over Lena while posing as the child’s father, who will “ask” relatives to adopt the newborn. But Ermanno begins to shed his tough veneer as he develops feelings for the girl and child, which will have implications for everyone involved.

 In a Podtalk with Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com, Director Carlo Sironi talks about the themes and meanings behind his debut film.

“Sole” will screen at the 55th Chicago International Film Festival on October 18th, 2019 (8pm), at the AMC River East 21, 322 East Illinois Street, Chicago. Director Carlo Sironi will appear on behalf of the film. It will screen again on October 24th (3:45p). The 55th Fest takes place October 16th to October 27th, 2019.
