National premiere
in the presence of the director
The industrial complex in Portovesme, Sardinia, with its constant, sleepy hum, has been in a state of semi-abandonment for 15 years. Fabrizio wanders around the place of his childhood like a tourist, looking up, attracted by the height of the chimneys and seduced by the memories. His friend Andrea, who has never left, has learned over time to look down instead, to jump between rocks. Marta Anatra’s feature debut is an analog exploration that tries to stretch its gaze beyond the false promises of industrial progress and the prevailing political disillusionment.
