Overview

As happens to Simone, who was already the protagonist 11 years ago – he was portrayed back then with the other men of the Ciliberti family in the previous film *L'albero di trasmissione* – forced to close his workshop and with it his creations made from scrap, emblems of an unproductive inventiveness, of a fragile but realized utopia. It seems, however, that living on the margins of the present, in a precariousness that is a choice and not a misfortune, is a freedom that is no longer permitted. This new work by Fabrizio Bellomo is a biographical film (about a man, a nonconformist, and his neighborhood), which is at the same time a sequel and itself a film within a film, but also and above all a reflection on the role of cinema towards its subjects and on the humanist mandate of documentary.
