Under the Sicilian sunlight, Oscar collects scrap metal with his father. At the other end of town, Stanley the Nigerian migrant gets by thanks to small tasks given by the parish priest. Both share the same desire for a better life.

Shot in the radiant Sicilian sun, Michele Pennetta’s Il mio corpo offers a courageous look at immigrant life as an unforeseen friendship gradually unfolds. Evoking the neorealist cinema for today, this lyrical docu-fiction is rich in texture while calling for an impassioned sense of hope.
