IO L'ALTRO
ME/THE OTHER
Giuseppe and Yousef are fisherman, one Sicilian, and the other, Tunisian who has been living in Italy for 20 years. Not only are they friends, but they are also partners. A sudden radio flash announces that the police are hunting for a terrorist involved in a shocking suicide attack. The man’s name is the same name as Yousef. At first the two men take this coincidence lightly. That is, until other news from passing boats and various clues Giuseppe finds in his friend’s pockets make him more and more convinced that Yousef could in fact truly be this terrorist. Tension mounts to an unbearable level until the two men have a brutal fight in which the motor of the boat is destroyed. Their friendship now shattered, dialogue is impossible. This moral and religious dispute drives Giuseppe and Yousef to the dramatic end.
