The Last Resort

Its official name is public resort “La Lanterna” (i.e. The lantern) but everybody in Trieste simply calls it “el Pedocìn”: a public beach in the very heart of Trieste, still divided in two by a wall. Men on one side of the wall and women on the other. Another world, an island frozen in time facing a sea which divides and unites at the same time, widening and blurring borders, blending them together the same way Italians and Serbians, Greeks and Slovenians, Jews and Germans, Austrians and Americans. A film about boundaries, identities and discrimination. A tragicomedy on human nature.
