Cadrò, sognando di volare
by Genovesi FabioFabio is twenty-four years old and studies law, even though his heart isn’t really in it. One day in 1998 he is sent to the mountains to do community service as an alternative to the draft. He is assigned to a retirement home for old priests that is run by an eighty-year-old former missionary, a gruff and moody man who barely leaves his room having lost interest in everything.. Nonetheless, Fabio and Don Basagni share something in common: their passion for cycling. They start watching the Giro d’Italia together, identifying in Marco Pantani the incarnation of a dream: a brave man, tormented, who follows his instinct and exerts massive efforts that allow him to move that “terrible border between possible and impossible, between what we would like to do and what we can do.” Thanks to this marvelous madness, Fabio and Don Basagni will find in themselves the courage buried within them to question the solid, reliable existence they were accustomed to put up with.
