Mondo is a poem about the missing ingredients of life, how we replace them, and what happens when we lose them. The traveller, a nameless boy of about nine years old, arrives in town, unaccompanied. He is looking for parents, and wanders up to strangers, asking if they want to adopt him. He observes the treatment of strangers in this new land he has come to. He expects no help, but he stays. He remembers nothing before he came to this new land. This is the story of him in this new land, and his impact on it. Very lyrical piece telling a powerful, compelling story of the human condition, and of love, loss, and life. The fantastic central performances prove that beauty, poetry, pain, and love, can co-exist perfectly and eloquently on film.
