Amarilli Varesio

In the noisy neighborhood of Porta Palazzo, Turin's large market, and along the cobbled streets of Balon, the lives of refugees, migrants and travellers unfold. Regardless of the culture they belong to and their age, within the family unit, all the characters are faced with very high expectations. Becoming or remaining true to yourself, therefore feeling free to act, is a difficult path and it takes courage to indulge and realize your desires. Two polarities run through the stories: the water that symbolizes the desire to travel and cut ties; and the land that is the need for grounding and emotional stability. Each character feels the need to break the mold within their own world by reconnecting to one of these two polarities, while trying to adhere to the most intimate and authentic feeling they have within themselves.
