Towards the Delta
The river rises on the remote plateaux of Asia. Three thousand miles later, it ebbs away among windswept mud flats along the Gulf of Bo-Hai. Along its twisting course, over the centuries, different religions and philosophies have taken root -
Confucianism, Buddhism,
Taoism. Despite the turmoil and official credos of the last 40 years, they are all very much alive today.

(Io, Chiara e lo Scuro) starring
Francesco Nuti as Francesco
Giuliana de Sio as Chiara
This off-beat comedy reunites the successful team of prizewinning director Maurizio Ponzi and popular cabaret star
Francesco Nuti in one of the greatest Italian cinema successes of the 1980s.
Francesco is obsessed by billiards. He is ecstatic when he beats the local champion, Scuro. But Scuro demands a return match and before long Francesco finds himself in trouble - 'borrowing' from his employers to meet his debts. And, as if that weren't enough, there's the pretty girl downstairs whose saxophone case is identical to Francesco's cue case.
