The Island Within

An almost autistic chess champion coached by his father and manipulated as a national attraction by the powers that be decides to shave his head, wear his AC Milan shirt and disappear for a while to the island his grandfather has told him so much about.

A film whose caustic humor and perfect composition is enlivened by a soundtrack of evocative synths, used with elegant economy.
