Luca Argentero plays Sante Moras, a former policeman turned prison guard, wrongfully accused of a murder he did not commit. Argentero embodies a tormented character fighting for his innocence. Alongside him, Cristiana Dell’Anna stars as journalist Fabiana Lai. Completing the main cast is Francesco Acquaroli as Commissioner Tommaso Lago.
Cinematographer Luca Santagostino shared:
“With director Domenico De Feudis, we started by exploring the thriller genre and referencing the new western style, which perfectly aligned with the landscapes of Sardinia’s interior. The aim was to depict a gritty, sombre Sardinia, far from comforting, and consistent with the story we were telling. I wanted to capture Costa Smeralda as a cold, desolate, and bleak place”.
