Luce mia

My Beacon of Hope

The director, who had been struck with acute myeloid leukemia a few years ago, lucidly and painfully retraces the stages and rites of the therapy he had to undergo. A journey back into the disease and the fear, accompanied by another patient, Sabrina, a courageous fighter who helped him understand the deep meaning of life. Along with them, the family members and the nurses and doctors of Turin’s Mauriziano Hospital. A courageous mise-en-scène, with no self-commiseration.
