Through the words of the witnesses, the film tells about the bombing of Dalmine Steelworks, which took place the morning of the 6th July 1944 and caused the death of hundreds of people. During a recent exploration, in the darkness of the bunker, the images of the remaining objects recall those tragic moments.
The camera moves around the villages of the high Caucasus, in the Northern Azerbaijan, where ancient tribes still live, like the mountain Jews. Monika Bulaj enters this world, made of daily gestures, magic and mysteries. Houses toil up mountains and during the night the men tell stories, always different ones. Those people seem to belong both to the earth and the sky. The ti...

The time flows with a special rhythm in the residential home Nausicaa. Domestic events pepper in a new way the long summer days. The story of a small and lively community is told to the ones who are able to lighten their spirits while watching the film.
Gardeners. Garbage collector. Assembler. Disparate stories meet at a social cooperative. The juxtaposition of events, which are only apparently not related, recreates gradually the complexity of a meeting place which is both physical and existential.
"I have attended so many courses here in prison... What's one more?" says one of the attendees at the audio-visual workshop that was held from February to June in the district prison of Bergamo.
