Synopsis:
The Italian town of Settimo looked as if it was going to fall apart. But things turned out to be different. Why?
An elderly surveyor, one of those who actually built the Italy of today, talks about his houses. Some of them were for the first immigrants coming from Veneto (the region of Venice), who wanted their own detached houses and so they built them themselves on weekends. Others were buildings for the immigration wave during the sixties, mostly composed of people coming from the south with their cardboard suitcases.
The surveyor’s story is interlaced with one about an old priest, born in 1910, who tells us about the waves of immigration that have made the cities we have today: his childhood wishes and his contemporary fears, his amazement at a world he saw while growing up but no longer recognises.
Every story leads to another: one about an engineer who built one of the biggest purification plants in Europe, right here in Settimo Torinese; another about the children to whom he tries to explain why we need it. The Easter Monday at the Fluvial Park, born thanks to the fact that the engineer purifies the big river’s waters… and then the brand new meeting point: the gym. Here we can find other stories: the nine-month-pregnant Pilates teacher, the young farmer who raises 120 cows in the very heart of the industrial suburb. And then the music teacher who founded the “Sette Torri†chorus, keen on sacred polyphony, who teaches a teenage pop-punk bass guitarist, who lives his big moment at the San Remo Festival…
All these stories, like parts of a mosaic, compose the answer to a question that Marco Paolini, Natalino Balasso, Laura Curino, Moni Ovadia and Lucilla Giagnoni ask Gabriele Vacis, director of the movie: Why do you keep living in this suburb?
