"At Least You" (Einaudi)
The revenge of an ordinary man. A silent, incorrect, cruel thriller.
“Last night I dreamed of her. She was two years old and so small, climbing up on my shoulder like a little mouse, laughing. In the dream she brings her mouth close to my ear and her warm breath tickles me, but when she whispers she has an adult’s voice. She says: you must kill them all.”
Vittorio's life is like many others, going along avoiding bumps and falls.
One day he experiences the worst tragedy: his only daughter, a teenager, dies while with a group of friends.
An accident, it seems, then someone plants a doubt.
At that point, Vittorio's existence, already devastated, completely crumbles.
Until it is the dead daughter herself who tells him what he must do.
