Filippo Foscarini

At the verge of the forest, stealthy human presences gather around the fire while, from afar, the rumble of gunshots echoes. Not far there is a wall made of sharp metal marking the beginning of Europe. A clan of Afghan smugglers lives waiting for people to lead to the other side of the border, wandering through the labyrinth of an eternal and sleepless night.

Sicily, 2020. In a godforsaken countryside, a sudden change of weather finally marks the end of a suffocating summer. An immersion into the landscapes of a wounded island.

The armies of Fascist Italy conquered Addis Ababa, capital of Abyssinia, in May 1936, thus culminating the African colonial adventure of the ruthless dictator Benito Mussolini, by then lord of Libya, Eritrea and Somalia; a bloody and tragic story told through the naive drawings of Pietro Dall'Igna, an Italian schoolboy born in 1925.

An ephemeral being lives for just one day: a ritual and fragile dance that celebrates the intensity, transformation, and beauty of fleeting moments.

The city of Vukovar, covered during the 90’s with rubble and corpses crammed on the streets, today is a controversial place of memory and symbol of the sufferings for Croatia’s independence. The film reflects on the silence of history.
