A musical comedy, a journey filled with unexpected twists and unexpected encounters, leading a group of musicians to set out to the rhythm of their musical verses to participate in the Scanzano Jonico Song-Theatre Festival, walking across Basilicata, from the Tyrrhenian to the Ionian Sea, along the route that gives the project its name. The journey will have a therapeutic effect.

After her father's death, Aida returns to her Arbëreshë village and grapples with complicated feelings about her origins.

Sassiwood is a parody of Matera, a small town in Southern Italy, that seems destined only to accommodate biblical movie sets. It is a bitter reflection on the death of poetry and the ignorance of the ruling class.

A road comedy with three parallel stories: 1.) Two Matera natives who are supposed to be extras who gets lost searching for a film set. 2.) The location manager, a widower harassed by his superior, who meets an American director in Matera to film a documentary about Albino Pierro, a poetic figure who restores a forgotten sense of life. 3.) Director of the film commission, harassed by stronger powers, who ends up taking out all his frustration on the location manager. Looming over everything, somewhere between reality and fiction, is the imminent start of filming on the mega-production James Bond.

In a neighbourhood on the outskirts of Taranto, high upon the rooftops framed by the Ilva steel factory, we meet Tonino a.k.a. “Barboncino” (poodle). Tonino has just committed a robbery and, in a moment of foolishness, fled from his accomplices, taking the entire loot for himself. He escapes upward, clambering from roof to roof, until he can go no further and must take refuge in an old water tank. Here he finds Renato, a strange and eccentric man who believes he is an American Indian from the Sioux tribe. Trapped with no other choice, Tonino is forced to team up with Renato. A strange and crazy friendship is formed, and Tonino learns to see things from a very different perspective.
