Pierino Aceti is a man of fixed habits, a pensioner and a film lover . For one year, for exactly fifty two Thursdays, the director went to visit Mr Aceti at his house from 10.30 to 11.30 am. Every meeting revolved around one question: “what did you do this week?”. The rigorous organisational schedule of Pierino’s days, his relentless ability to classify and remember things and details about films and life, to fragment time in meticulous and measurable events emerge during the course of this formal agreement.

In a cinematic universe full of superheroes (there are at least 25 in Avengers: Infinity War), it only seems fitting to narrate the exploits of the ‘super-normal’ among us

Luca Ferri’s decidedly experimental but coherent stylistic choice is striking, having shot Pierino on a VHS with an old film camera, in homage to Mr. Aceti's cinephilia, ‘We couldn’t shoot the film any other way while maintaining a coherent fusion of form and content,’"
