Two Senegalese teenagers, Seydou and Moussa leave Dakar for Italy. On a journey neither of the boys could have anticipated, they experience the dangers and the beauty of the desert, the shock of detention centres in Libya, and the perils of the sea in their pursuit of a better life.

Luminous bursts of magic realism abound in this immersive intercontinental odyssey from director Matteo Garrone. Winner of the Best Director award in Venice and Oscar®-nominated for Best International Feature Film, Io Capitano examines the human cost of the migrant crisis with heartbreaking empathy.
