The Big Dream is set in Italy in
1968, when Italian youth dreamed of changing the world,
when rules were broken, when love was free and when
everything seemed possible. Nicola, a policeman, will
cross paths with Laura, a daughter of a good
middle-class Catholic family and a brilliant student who
dreams of a world without injustice, and Libero, a
worker student, leader of the movement. The director
Michele Placido calls it “a period fresco on the
idealist movement and youth struggle of ’68.” A
hard-hitting look into a time when revolution was in the
air.
Produced by Pietro Valsecchi and Camilla Nesbitt.
Director of Photography: Arnaldo Catinari. In
competition from Films Distribution.
