Year: 2006. Running Time: 80’
Two young fishermen are the
innocent victims of the so-called “war between
civilizations” and the net of suspicion and paranoia
that is so much a part of it. In
Me, the Other,
Yousef and Giuseppe are long-time
buddies who have worked together for over a decade. When
Yousef (Giovanni Martorana) arrived in Italy as a
refugee from Tunisia, he began working on a fishing boat
where he met the man who was to become his best friend,
Giuseppe (Raoul Bova). After years of grueling work
under a “boss”, the two young decide to go into business
for themselves and purchase a second-hand fishing boat
which they rename “Medea”. Then September 11 happens,
and the whole world seems to change. Every aspect of
life is affected by this unbalanced, permanent condition
of war, capable of casting suspicion anywhere, even on a
small fishing boat at sea.
