Joe, Carlo, Bobo and Giacomo have always been friends, each with their own life and problems, but united by an authentic bond and the passion that brought them together: music.

It mixes the documentary language with comedy and fiction, and is enriched by interviews to some of the most important voices of Turin cinematography.

"One evening, without any particular expectations, I went to the Lavanderia a Vapore theatre in Collegno, headquarters of the Balletto Teatro di Torino, directed by Loredana Furno, and I saw Sexxx, the ballet by Matteo Levaggi. I’m not a fan of modern dance, but I think this is why my fascination that evening was sincere and convinced. Above all, I was struck by the way the choreographer was able to take the explicit gestures and movements of sexual communication and transform them into the language of dance. And since body language is one of the topics I have been interested in filming since that ‘scandalous’ Guardami, I was already sufficiently motivated to transform the ballet into a movie." - Davide Ferrario

"Piazza Garibaldi" is a name found in almost any Italian town. It is a metaphor for the nation and its history. Like in the successful, award-winning "La strada di Levi", Ferrario sets off on a journey: this time, on the traces of the expedition of the Thousand. The aim: to verify the relationship between past and present, starting from Bergamo, formerly the "City of the Thousand" and today a bastion of Padania, and arriving at Teano. The voyage is full of surprises, meetings, reflections: a sweeping road movie through the history and geography of the country, seeking to answer a nagging question: why are Italians no longer able to imagine a future for themselves?

In February, 1945, Primo Levi (1919-1987) and other Auschwitz survivors set off for home. The journey took more then eight months. Sixty years later, a film crew retraces Levi's steps. Levi's words, mainly from "The Truce" (1963), tell us what he experienced. In turn, we see Poland's hollow post-war factories, nationalism in the Ukraine, Soviet-style Communism in Belarus, the abandoned town of Prypiat (Chernobyl), poverty and emigration from Moldavia, Italian factories in Romania, and on across Hungary and Slovakia to Munich where Levi's rage found no listeners. Then home to Turin. An aged Mario Rigoni Stern remembers his friend. What has changed? Some issues of the war remain unsettled.

광산 노조 운동이 아직 자리를 잡지못한 1920년. 노조가 아직 결성되지 못한 메이트완에서 파업이 일어난다. 사장은 이탈리아 주민들과 흑인으로 구성된 노조 파괴자들을 모집해 온다. 여기에 섞여서 조 캐너핸이라는 세계 산업 노동조합에서 파견된 노동운동 지도자가 온다. 그는 메이트완에서 노동자들이 자신들의 정당한 권리를 찾을 수 있도록 도와준다. 그리고 노동자들 사이에서 분열이 생겼을 때 그 분열을 단합으로 만들기 위해 노력한다. 그는 자본에 매수된 다른 노조원에게 모함을 받기도 하고 테러를 당하기도 한다. 하지만 그와 다른 조합원들의 노력으로 노조 파괴자들도 노조에 가입하고 파업은 최고조에 달한다. 노동자와 자본가간의 대립이 계속되던 중 조합원인 할라드가 석탄을 훔치다 살해당하는 사건이 발생하고 긴장이 고조된다. 사용자측은 볼드윈 탐정 사무소를 통해 사람을 사들이고 마을에서의 총격전으로 이를 말리려던 캐너핸과 시장 등이 죽고 이후 유명한 석탄 전쟁이 시작된다.
