The video, shot in Calabria between the Piana di Gioia Tauro and the Aspromonte, tells of the encounter between a group of men and women of different ages and geographical origins and their search to “make a home”. They are the displaced, to compose a temporary but possible community.
In the background, the dramatic reality of the slum of San Ferdinando (RC) where the seasonal laborers live and where, during the filming of this film, he was killed Sekine Traorè, a laborer from Mali mortally wounded by a carabiniere’s weapon inside a shack.
