Dry
Directed by Paolo Virzì
Produced by Vision Distribution, Wildside
A darkly comic, ensemble-driven meditation on scarcity and social collapse in a drought-stricken Rome, where interconnected lives navigate survival and meaning amid systemic breakdown.
In Rome it hasn’t rained for three years and the lack of water is overturning rules and habits. Through the city dying of thirst and prohibitions moves a chorus of people, young and old, marginalised and successful, victims and profiteers. Their lives are linked in a single design, while each seeks his or her deliverance.
