Director Statement

With the new wave of Afghan refugees in August 2021, I closely followed the story of dozens of families welcomed in Lombardy, Italy.
The film tells the existential drama of one of these families, highlighting the symbolic role of the place that embraces their mourning for their homeland.
While the media narrative has focused only on some aspects of the events, I’ve tried to go beyond the stereotyped language of interviews to build an existential story that represents the emotional dimension by delving into the individual aspects of this common experience.
