Cover of A Friday in August

A filmmaker who makes documentaries on hit-men, Fabrizio Notte is invited to show his latest piece, a work of fiction, at a film festival in Montreal. The reviews have been mixed and his family is in trouble. The trip to his hometown also serves as a pretext for an existential pilgrimage towards love and belonging. His search leads him, on a Friday in August, back through time, through this vast, moving landscape that is memory, to his first love and, ultimately, to himself.
