Why so Distant?
1964 to 1965
Disillusioned by his career in the Air Force and the bureaucratic corruption of "business Italian style," Roberto Lanzi dreams of a better life in Canada. He begs his wife Silvia to join him as soon as he can establish himself, and in spite of her fears for him and their unborn child, she reluctantly agrees.
Roberto sets out alone on his journey across the ocean, and discovers that despite his youth, technical qualifications and proficiency in English, no one wants to hire him. With funds quickly disappearing, he wonders if Canada will ever offer him a chance to prove himself.
This moving, deeply personal account of one man's struggle to adapt to a strange country reveals the strength, perseverance and determination required to build a new life. Through hard work and a little luck when he needs it most, Roberto discovers unexpected avenues to success, and what it means to create a home.
