She listens to the tango, drinks only tamarind, loves panda teddy bears and pecorino cheese, and in between happiness and nocturnal meltdowns, lives the serene existence of an ordinary family life. On a day like any other, she is taken away from the family without any explanation, her father the victim of a monstrous accusation. Set in Torino and observed through the wandering, dreamy gaze of her thirteen-year-old sister, Giovanna, we enter the daily life of Pulce's abnormal family with its language devised for someone who can only speak through images; a family whose chaos is full of emergencies and love. Without rhetoric or pathos, we explore the clash between the adult world and that of children, between illness and normality, between the rigidity of institutions and emotional bonds, and the normality of a family facing the absurdities of Kafka-like bureaucracy. The film won the Special Jury Prize in the Alice nella città section at Rome Film Festival 2012.Pulce Is Not Here ( Pulce non c'è )
