Country: Italy
Year: 1995
Duration: 6'5''


This film features images of a day at school from the time of the entry into the classrooms, through the time for a break for an afternoon snack, to the time when the students go away. These are situations that students experience, with little variations, at the elementary schools as well as the university. There are no dialogues. Only the music ironically underlines the atmosphere of the different moments.
