制衡

語言：義大利語

40歲的神父Giuseppe面臨信仰與心靈危機。他出身坎佩尼亞地區，先在非洲傳道一段時間，之後回到羅馬的小教區服務，他請求主教將他調回家鄉，希望能為自己的出生地盡一份力，主教答應了他。Giuseppe開車來到那不勒斯附近一個有許多公寓大樓及社會住宅的小鎮，

這個教區神父是Don Antonio，今年55歲，充滿個人魅力也備受當地尊重，他帶領當地居民反對違法傾倒工業廢棄物。黑手黨在當地營運垃圾掩埋場，在野外非法傾倒並燃燒廢棄物，有毒廢棄物造成環境污染，當地人稱之為「火之地」。

Don Antonio因努力有成而被調回羅馬，Giuseppe將接下他的職位。45歲的修女Sour Antonietta在當地照顧兒童，共同負責這個教區。

Don Antonio離開之前，把當地情形告訴Giuseppe，也介紹了當地居民給他認識，包括癌症患者Maria，她正在尋找失散多年的兒子Saveio；40歲、顏面傷殘的Gaetano，他是當地黑手黨首腦；8歲的祭壇助手Daniele，他因為球場被一隻山羊佔據而成天在街頭踢足球；以及30歲的婦女Assunta，Don Antonio表示她有嚴重的精神疾病。

Don Antonio離開之後，Giuseppe以行動證明自己，先幫Daniele把足球場打掃乾淨，重新開放場地，在一個吸毒者聚集的地方找到Saverio，說服他回家看母親。他盡心盡力幫助社區居民，這時Assunta告訴他一個秘密：她的伴侶侵犯她的十歲女兒。

Giuseppe尋求Don Antonio的協助以查出真相，但Don Antonio質疑Assunta的說法。Giuseppe也遭到Gaetano威嚇，但他堅決找出真相，無論付出多大代價，他絕對不放棄Assunta母女。

EQUILIBRIUM (ITALY/2017/DRAMA)

L'EQUILIBRIO

Language: Italian

Thoughts have led to a crisis in the faith and spiritual journey of GIUSEPPE, a forty-year-old priest from Campania, who after spending time as a missionary in Africa now works in a small diocese in Rome. Giuseppe asks the bishop for a transfer – his dream is to make himself useful in a town in his area of birth – and the bishop grants his wish. Giuseppe drives to a small town near Naples, full of enormous apartment blocks of social housing.

The parish priest for the area is DON ANTONIO, a highly charismatic and eloquent fifty-five-year-old, who is a local authority, listened to and respected by all. As a matter of fact, Don Antonio has been fighting a battle against the pollution due to the illegal dumping of industrial waste there in the infamous Terra dei Fuochi, or land of fires, where the local Mafia runs refuse collection operations, illegally dumping and burning waste in the open countryside.

Don Antonio has been called up to Rome on his own merits: Giuseppe will take his place. The parish is managed alongside SUOR ANTONIETTA, a forty-five-year-old nun who takes care of the children.

Before leaving, Don Antonio shows Giuseppe the realities of the area, and so he meets: MARIA, a cancer sufferer, who asks him to track down her son SAVERIO, whom she has not seen in years; GAETANO, a forty-year-old with a disfigured face who controls the current dominant clan of the local mafia; DANIELE, an eight-year-old altar boy who spends his days playing football in the street because the parish pitch is occupied by a goat; and finally ASSUNTA, a problematic 30-year-old mother who, according to Don Antonio, suffers from serious mental health problems.

Once he is alone, Giuseppe wants to prove himself a worthy successor to Don Antonio, and so he busies himself. He cleans up and reopens the pitch for Daniele and his friends, he goes in search of SAVERIO and finds him in a park frequented only by drug addicts, and convinces him to go and see his mother. He tries to help the community in every way possible, until Assunta lets him in on an ugly secret: her partner abuses her daughter of just ten.

Giuseppe wants to get to the bottom of this, and asks for help from Don Antonio; he, however, casts doubt on Assunta's reality. Giuseppe is threatened by Gaetano, but with great determination and courage he is able to uncover the truth, but he is left out on his own. Giuseppe cannot abandon Assunta and her daughter though, however high the price may be.
