Francesco Sossai’s sophomore feature “The Last One for the Road,” which launched from Cannes’ Un Certain Regard, is the big winner of Italy’s David di Donatello Awards, the country’s top film prizes.

“For the Road” is a quirky drama that follows two broke 50-somethings who are small-time crooks who befriend a shy architecture student. As a trio, they go on a chaotic voyage through the Venetian plains. The film scored top honors for best film, director, actor, editing, screenplay, producer, casting and original song.
