Sara Zavarise

In October 2012, after 123 years, the cotton factory Honegger of Albino closed down, in the middle valley of Bergamo, where working is a religion. In the cotton factory, the place at the loom was handed down from mother to daughter, and newly employed workers were sure to have found "ol pà 'n véta", their bread and butter for a life time. Following for a whole winter the daily life of three workers on unemployment benefits, the film narrates the decline, now definitive, of a whole idea of work and society and the subsequent emptiness. Such a transition concerns the whole of Italy, where a fourth of the industrial power was lost in the last five years. However, Italy is not clearly dealing with such a transition yet. Now that bread is finished, how are we going to reinvent our life?

In Italy there is a world that is helping the country grow; it is that of the operators and mediators of the SPRAR network reception projects, a public system based on the synergy between municipalities, the Ministry of the Interior and associations. The film follows the lives, thoughts, dreams, and labors of those who work every day in the construction of a complex and necessary future.
