Synopsis
Alessio is a visually impaired boy who loves football. His adolescence is spent between the difficulties of his disability and the fear that one day he might lose his sight completely. Alessio’s obstacles are the same ones experienced and overcome by Salvatore and Davide, two middle-aged blind people who have realized their dream of playing soccer, inventing the sound ball and founding Ascus Lecce, the most successful Paralympic football team in Italy.
director’s statement
“Just Like Light is first and foremost a film about soccer as a metaphor for life, —about the world’s most popular sport and the dream of a few blind young men who long to experience it as protagonists. But more profoundly, it is also a film about the metaphor of darkness, about the shorter or longer moments of hardship that we unfortunately encounter in our lives, and how we manage or choose to face them. It is a story of loneliness and suffering, but also of shared dreams, rebirth, and redemption.”
