Easy Living | Non sono io | In Her Shoes

Easy Living is a melancholic coming of age comedy, in which the dramatic, contemporary reality of the migrants is filtered through the eyes of a kid and turned into an adventure.

Easy Living was directed and written by brothers Orso and Peter Miyakawa.  The cast included the lead Maneol Hudec (Don, the tennis instructor), who has acted in other films; interestingly starting out as Leonardo DiCaprio’s stand-in for The Aviator and The Departed movies.  Playing opposite was Camilla Semino Favro (Camilla, the smuggler and Don’s love interest).  Alberto Boubaker Malanchino (Elvis, the refugee); cast in the Netflix production “Summertime” as well as the new series “Medical Report.”  Rounding out the cast was James Miyakawa (Brando, young friend of Elvis) who is a second year student at Manzoni High School in Milan, Italy.

An homenage to the foreigner workers engaged with the Covid-19 emergency response. Before “invaders” they then become heroes, but remain men and women who live in Italy and belong to the same community.

An upside-down world where women are in power and men look after the family. Domenico retells his story to his daughter starting with a tender memory. In a letter he re-lives the joys of her birth, her childhood, the dreams of a happy family, but also of the painful sacrifices of a father and husband, sacrifices that suffocated his real aspirations and desires. Using found footage, In Her Shoes rewrites History: men united in a liberation movement. The images from our past no longer tell of who we were, but create a challenge. What would men have done if they found themselves in women's shoes?
