The Walking Liberty | Yaya e Lennie
by Alessandro Rak
Italy 2021 110′
The world has come to an end. Nature has retaken possession of the planet. A new society, the Institution, is attempting to thrive from the ruins. Its followers strive to reinstate order. But not everybody accepts to succumb to a process of civilization: the dissidents are preparing for a revolution! We will tell the story of two free spirits of the jungle who strive to find their place in the world. Yaya is an intelligent 15 years old mixed-race girl with an uncouth attitude. Lennie is a 8-foot tall man in his 30s with a mental handicap. Yaya takes care of Lennie. Lennie takes care of Yaya.
