3,700 km of coastline, a Fiat 1100, and an old travel diary, those are the ingredients for Pepe Danquart’s documentary. Following the footsteps of the great Italian thinker Pier Paolo Pasolini, the filmmaker gains a deep insight into the social reality of present-day Italy. The country is massively affected by globalization, migration and the phenomenon of mass tourism, which, more than ever, is characterised by the same hedonistic conformity that Pasolini lamented more than fifty years ago. Ahead of me the South is a poetic contemporary document, a kaleidoscopic picture of the Italy of today.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
