Stella Maris
Giacomo Abbruzzese
A lost Italian village by the Mediterranean Sea. The annual fair. All the locals gather on the beach waiting for the arrival by sea of a traditional illuminated statue, the Stella Maris. The story of a light craftsman and his daughter, an one-eyed mayor, fireworks fusing like weapons and street-art as revolution.
