TIR

TIR was initially planned as a documentary but which then became a fiction film and winner of the Golden Marcus Aurelius prize at the Rome Film Festival in 2013. The film follows a man, who for financial reasons, gives up his job as a teacher, and become a truck driver. Throughout the film the viewer is next to him,”on the road”. Filmed mainly in the highways of the area, some scenes were filmed at the Fernetti autoporto the HGV freight village in Trieste, one of the most important transit points for Italian goods going to the Balkans, others in front of the Ausonia bathing establishment: a historic part of Trieste, built with foresight in the late 1930s and ever since then loved by Triestini of all ages and backgrounds who often justifiably consider it a city institution.
