Io Capitano tells the story of two teenage cousins, Seydou and Moussa, born and raised in Dakar but with dreams of becoming musicians in Europe.
Despite Seydou's mother's objections, the two boys decide to secretly leave to reach the old continent. Thus begins a journey that will prove to be an odyssey: through the Sahara Desert, littered with the corpses of those who didn't survive, Libyan prisons, and the Mediterranean filled with dangers.
During their journey, the two young men will face thefts, violence, and abuses, but they will also encounter acts of humanity and kindness. In particular, Seydou will discover the meaning of taking responsibility for one's own life and that of others in extreme circumstances.
Io Capitano - Trailer
Io Capitano tells the adventurous journey of two young individuals, Seydou and Moussa, who leave Dakar to reach Europe. A contemporary odyssey through the perils of the desert, the horrors of detention centers in Libya, and the dangers of the sea.
Matteo Garrone's film Io Capitano has received generally positive reviews from critics. Many praise the director's ability to tackle the complex and controversial theme of immigration from a fresh perspective, that of the migrants themselves, giving them a human dimension.
The performances of the two young leads, Seydou Sarr and Moustapha Fall, have been praised for their naturalness and intensity. In particular, Seydou's character and his journey to take responsibility for himself and others are seen as the emotional heart of the film. Garrone's direction, despite departing from the fairy-tale tones of his previous work "Pinocchio," is described as solid and consistent in bringing a contemporary, raw yet poetic odyssey to life.
Paolo Carnera's visuals powerfully capture the hardship of the journey through the desert and open sea. Some critics note some conventionality in the screenplay at certain points, but overall, the film is commended for addressing the immigration drama with artistic maturity and humanity.

The reception from critics was generally positive, with praise for Garrone's ability to approach the theme of immigration with sensitivity and poetry. The film was awarded the Pasinetti Award for Best Italian Film by the National Union of Italian Film Journalists.
