San Vittore

About This Movie

San Vittore (2019) dives deep into the emotional landscapes of children visiting their incarcerated parents. The film captures the innocence of childhood juxtaposed against the stark realities of imprisonment, and it's fascinating how these kids transform the grim surroundings of a prison into a whimsical castle through their drawings. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to absorb each moment, each sketch, as a window into their world. It’s part of that series, The Roots of Violence, which brings an added layer of context—San Vittore, alongside its companions San Siro and San Giorgio, presents a raw exploration of familial bonds under strain. The visual storytelling here is simple yet powerful, and those children's art pieces really linger with you.
