Pietro Marcello’s vibrant, multilayered adaptation of the classic Jack London novel has echoes of the great Luchino Visconti in its majestic sweep and focus on a man torn between personal ambitions and political ideals. Luca Marinelli was awarded the Best Actor prize at Venice for his towering performance as Martin, a sailor with a hunger for education and a passion for the beautiful Elena (Jessica Cressy). Vowing to transcend his humble origins and become a writer of substance, he struggles to make his voice heard and find his place in the world.
