    • Synopsis
    • At 92, sculptor Leo Vinci has several unfulfilled dreams: one is to "attack" the block of marble that is waiting for him in his courtyard. He wants to engage with it in a hand-to-hand fight, as if he were a sumo wrestler. He also dreams about camping once again by the sea, where nature's shapes can breathe new meanings into him.
      In the meantime, standing in his workshop, he molds, welds, builds machines, welcomes his ghosts...
      "When Bodies Collide" moves between poetic observation and a character study, immersing the viewer in a world in which perpetual motion and an obsession with creating things becomes a ritual and a form of resistance. In doing so, the film offers us a revolutionary idea: two hands are enough to make change.
