Nine stories, from north to south, a symbolic journey without
geographical boundaries, in order to tell the reality of a flexible
work. A scary reality because of hard timing and rhythms, or the fear
that flexibility would turn into precariousness. The real characters are
them, the flexible workers and their tales of daily life: a married
couple, a Catholic worker, a 24-year-old waitress, a young psychologist,
an electronic engineer, a CEO, a FIAT worker. As the red thread that
ties all these stories together, there are the incursions of Antonio
Albanese that performs some parts of Diario postumo di un lavoratore
flessibile, written by Luciano Gallino.
"The intention I had was precise: I wanted to make a documentary, which
had to be on the narrative side and not an inquiry; I wanted to tell
individual stories that would represent a mirror where other similar
stories could reflect. I have tried to discover and film people whose
faces, stories and consciousness could communicate real emotions and not
only a deeper understanding of economic logics" (S. Consiglio).
