The video is divided into three episodes - two fiction episodes and one documentary. In Double Chance a little boy moves from the center of Bologna to Pilastro, a neighborhood located on its outskirts. In The Condominium the conversation between two girl friends reveals the story of three girls and their friendship. Finally, Documents gives witness to the different phases of the experience of the Pilastro Film Workshop through interviews, gag, comments and the appearance of such guests as Antonio Albanese, Pino Cacucci and Freak Antoni. This is a trip through images both real and fictitious through the neighborhood of Pilastro.
