A CASA PER LE ELEZIONI

HOME FOR THE ELECTIONS

Country: Italy
Year: 1996
Duration: 40'


"It is April, 1996. There are elections in Italy and I go back to my home town (Vignola in Modena province), where I meet my parents, my brother, and my friends. As the results trickle in, animated political discussions crisscross over into things a little less coherent, such as a session of hypnosis in order to quit smoking. A Country is deciding its future. Every time I get close to people more than to sociological abstractions, I wonder something: I wonder where the absurd, the rational, reality, and fiction begin and end." (Gianni Zanasi)
