Andy the night watch was the cemetery gate keeper in Spoon river. He was overseeing the burial of all Spoon river residents. He was the silent observer of life in the small town, knowing everyone and their lives. He could see the good and bad, usually as they were intermixed after death. Having been given a final say following their passing, the bodies have a different story of their lies, cheating, corruption and neglect and Andy is shedding light to the underlying truth of the events.

The documentary explores the intimate and political story of the participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a civilian and non-violent mission that in September 2025 attempted to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, amid the siege and genocide perpetrated by Israel. From the harbour to departure, the film recounts the preparation of the largest civilian humanitarian mission by sea organised for Palestine. Alongside the mission, the Italian mobilisations that emerged around the call “Blocchiamo tutto” (Let's block everything), launched by the dockworkers involved in the Flotilla, come to light. Amid drone attacks, demonstrations, rallies and institutional promises withdrawn when needed, the journey becomes a concrete metaphor for the will of peoples to overcome the limits and hypocrisies of the international community.

Uruguayan carnival is investigated by a director who seeks to illustrate the evolution of a popular culture that, in its origins, had a strong Italian and European influence. Through a multiplicity of voices including those of José Pepe Mujica, Lucía Topolansky, Edu ‘Pitufo’ Lombardo, Chabela Ramírez, Lobo Núñez and others, the film risks a collective interpretation of the social and political meaning of Uruguay's greatest festival, proposing to the viewer a journey through its diverse practices and poetics.
