A portrait in the past and in the present of Turin which in 1961 was the scene of the international labor exhibition. In that period, an entire neighborhood was built to celebrate the progress and well-being of Italy during the economic boom. '61 was also the year in which immigration from the south to northern Italy reached its peak. Today with the poet Mohamed Amin Bour, we cross these places like aliens coming from a future that already appears old, to reflect on what is left of that promise of progress.

For his thirtieth birthday, his brother gives him a slow journey, by train, to a destination that is off the beaten track.
