What happens

Vittorio De Seta (15 October 1923 – 28 November 2011) was an Italian filmmaker. Considered one of Italy's great imaginative realists of the 1960s, his films usually documented the country's everyday life. He is most known for his Banditi a Orgosolo (1961), which incorporated the Italian neorealism with his previous documentary filmmaking background. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
