No Country for Young Men

Every year five hundred thousand young people leave Italy and flee overseas. They call it “brain drain” but among the new emigrants there are a lot of ordinary young people seeking their fortune. Sandro and Luciano are two of them. Sandro and Luciano meet each other at the restaurant where they both work as waiters. Sandro is a young boy eager to find his way. He would like to become a writer but he is still a bit confused. Luciano has worked as a waiter for a few years but he has been planning to flee to the place where everything seems possible: Cuba. As foreigners are now investing in the socialist country the economy is booming. You can start up a new business with little money and Luciano is thinking of opening an Italian restaurant.
