Synopsis

Found-footage documentary about the worldwide issue of emigration and immigration. Behind every painful immigration problem, an equally painful immigration problem is hidden. The largest part of the film is made up of images from all corners of the world that were found in RAI's news archives. Some pictures were never used in news broadcasts, because they were too shocking. Pictures of wars, natural disasters and refugee camps from all continents are linked with the lives of legal and illegal refugees and immigrants in Italy. Also we see rehearsals of the play "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles, with a choir made up of immigrants of many nationalities.
