Set in the multi-ethnic district of Pigneto in Rome, is the collective history of a class of immigrants and foreigners who are learning Italian. It is a story that is made up of individual stories of the students and the teacher: a true story that develops between school walls unconventional. A true story? Certainly for the voices and memories of the boys who sit on the benches, otherwise true for the actor Mastandrea who plays the role of their teacher, otherwise true to the director and the crew coming in and out of the scene in an intersection of real experiences and search for truth in fiction that turns out to be the authentic narrative core of this story. More real than reality.

Sunday afternoon. The south wind blows mercilessly on Palermo when two women, Rosa and Clara, who came to celebrate the wedding of a friend, get lost in the streets of the city and end up in a sort of gut: Via Castellana Flag. At the same time, another car driven by Samira, which accumulates inside the family Calafiore, comes in the opposite direction and penetrates in the same way. Neither Rosa at the wheel of his Multipla, nor Samira, and stubborn old woman behind the wheel of his point, intend to give way to one another. Locked inside their cars, two women face off in a duel dumb that is consumed in the intimate violence of looks. A duel all-female punctuated by a refusal to eat, drink and sleep; most stubborn sun of Palermo and more stubborn ferocity of the men around them. Because, as in every duel, is a matter of life or death …

The G8 summit was drawing to a close and, at the Diaz Pascoli School in Genoa which had been set up as a social forum for journalists, the young people were in good spirits – in spite of the violent clashes with the police that had occurred during the previous days. As had been the case in other countries during the same year, here too the anti-globalisation protests had been met with heavy police presence. Yet nothing was to prepare the temporary inhabitants of the Diaz school – most of them young men and women from all over Europe – for what was to happen.

The story of a young woman who lived in Galilee two thousand years ago, Mary of Nazareth, thanks to whom, with the birth of her son Jesus, a new era in the history of mankind was born. The questions the film raises are just as pertinent today; framed from an exquisitely female perspective, they concern birth, growth, childrearing, women’s role in society, and the meaning of the word “love”.

Pietro lives in an anonymous suburb. He earns a bit of cash distributing fliers in the street. His home is the old, now dilapidated apartment left him by his parents. His entire family is comprised of his brother, Francesco, who shares the apartment. Their relationship is fraught: Francesco is a drug addict, with unbreakable ties to his pusher “friend” NikiNiki and his group of cronies. The only way in which Pietro seems able to keep in touch with his brother is by playing along with the role of retarded clown with which he’s been saddled by the band of buddies. Every day Pietro has to put up with the insults of his brother and his friends, as well as with harassment at work from his violent, shady employer. Something seems to be changing when he meets a girl at work, but it doesn’t last. Pietro introduces the girl during yet another of the same old evenings, and things immediately turn sour. For Pietro, this will be the last straw.
