Saturnia, directed by an unknown talent, offers a contemplative look into the life of 13-year-old Yona, who weaves through nature, estranged from his father and distant from the village. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of isolation, yet there’s a flicker of connection in newcomer Tobbi, who pulls Yona out of his solitude. The red star that illuminates Yona feels almost like a character itself, casting a surreal glow over the narrative. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sink into Yona's internal struggles. Practical effects create a grounded world, contrasting with the ethereal themes of longing and discovery. The performances feel raw and intimate, making this film stand out in the drama genre in a quiet yet impactful way.
