Francesca Floris (director):
The interviewees were united by the fact that they have found their way in life without forgetting their roots. These people described their stories in a very personal way, talking about their experiences and their point of views, reflecting on the concepts of fear, loss, regret and many others; the entire documentary is a collection of anecdotes and confessions. I used this mechanism because I believe that when people talk about themselves, their feelings and experiences, there is a higher probability that they will express simple and genuine concepts, that are easier to understand because closely connected to the fact of being human and to feel and perceive life as human beings, not as citizens of a particular place or representatives of a certain political or religious view. I think this is the only way people can truly understand and appreciate others and, therefore, begin to know them and understand them also on political, religious and social matters.
