La villa
Per la sensibilità nell’aver raccontato, in maniera sincera e semplice, un giardino pubblico di periferia e i suoi abitanti. Attraverso un'osservazione partecipata e la ricerca di una relazione intima con i suoi protagonisti, il film dà vita ad un emozionante racconto corale, tenuto insieme con grazia, che riesce ad evocare in fuoricampo, in maniera originale, le problematiche che circondano la Villa.
Scampia, Naples. In the heart of the neighbourhood, among tall buildings and concrete, there is a public park: La Villa Comunale, a natural retreat, where people meet in search of a space of freedom. Among roars of helicopters and police sirens, we listen to the voices of people living there, who reveal themselves thanks to a filter of nature and beauty.
