Sacro Gra: Q&A With Director Gianfranco RosiSacro GRA is a poetic and humorous journey around the Grande Raccordo Anulare, Rome's ring-road highway, gracefully observing the everyday lives of a series of intriguing characters living near the highway's edge.
The only documentary ever to win the top prize at Venice Film Festival.
Among them we meet an ageing aristocrat who passes his days sprawled out on a couch amidst a dramatic array of kitsch, a fisherman teaching his Ukrainian girlfriend how to eat a melon, an ambulance driver racing from one accident to another and a botanist trying to save his beloved palm trees from insect infestation.
