Five Hours South - Mark Bacci (Bari, Italy)

Set in gorgeous locations in Southern Italy, Five Hours South takes the conventions of the dance movie and flips them upside down. Luca Santoro, a restless small-town Italian policeman stuck in a dead end job in the barren mountains of Calabria, struggles to reconcile everything he cherishes in life with his passion for dancing, all the while dealing with a dark secret from his past. His long-time girlfriend, Paola, is also anxious for him to settle down. When Luca is unexpectedly given a job in a dance company, he turns his back on Paola and his family, and takes the five hour train journey to Rome to start a whole new life. Or so it seems....as he cannot elude the blood oaths that tie him to the past.   In Italian and English, subtitled. 2012; 94 min.
