Drifting Towards The Crescent

riff — Tue, 28 Nov 2017 20:30:45 +0000

As the Mississippi River flows past the town of Keokuk, Iowa, towards Hannibal, Missouri, the birthplace of Mark Twain, an antebellum history languishes in the air. Drifting towards the crescent captures the place on the Mississippi River, where the North begins to drift into the South. As the diesel barges ply the waters, the river no longer needs the towns, but the towns still need the river.

Tomaso Bruno is an Italian twenty-year old boy like many others, restless, wealthy and voyager. He leaves for India at the beginning of 2010 looking for himself: he will find the death of a friend, a murder charge with no foundation and a life imprisonment. But during the long time in prison, Tomaso holds out, recalls, imagines, reads and writes thousands of letters describing how he has found his freedom within four walls of injustice.

The hospital calls Fareed. His wifes situation is critical; the cancer has reached its terminal stage. Pensioner Roli comes to his help and takes him to see his wife who passes away shortly after. Her funeral falls under the jurisdiction of Amrikon council. Fareed wants to see his wife buried in accordance with Muslim rites. Roli is keen to help Fareed and his daughters but problems quickly arise.

A family plot would allow for the body to be buried diagonally facing Mecca. But even family graves are exhumed after 25 years and allocated anew. For Muslims this disturbance of peace is an absolute taboo.
