This city may be dominated by the global market, by people intoxicated by computers, and by winning images, but where is there a place for a person who does not know the rules of the game, for a person who keeps quiet, or for a person who has lost? An inexorable voice gives her answers. This film is inspired by Stefano Benni's Blues in 16. La ballata della citt` dolente.
