The much-acclaimed Italian thriller Salvo is to have a UK release in March. A henchman for the Sicilian Mafia, Salvo is solitary, cold and ruthless. When he sneaks into a house to eliminate someone from a rival Mafia clan, he discovers Rita, a young blind girl who powerlessly stands by while her brother is assassinated. When Salvo decides to spare her life, something extraordinary happens. From then on, these two beings – both haunted by the world they belong to – are linked together forever.Winner of the 2013 Grand Prix prize at Cannes, Salvo joins the great Italian mafia greats, skilfully handled by two of the most ground-breaking and up and coming directors in European cinema: FABIO GRASSADONIA and ANTONIO PIAZZA
