Clever, curious and young, lucky Elisa has been selected for work placement in the North. While everything she’s heard about the North seems idyllic, the trouble is that the few people who do go there don’t ever come back.
Fresh off its Tribeca premiere where it won the Viewpoints Award for its original and inventive voice, Un futuro brillante (A Bright Future) was praised by the Tribeca jury as “captivating, thought-provoking, fresh and increasingly relevant."
