Duman, Ekrem, Renato and other Rom people live in Rome, near the
greyhound track, under Ponte Marconi. They are volcanic, unstable,
colourful and evasive, liars but human, moved by a voracity of life as
children, they have all come there leaving behind a difficult past. A
soccer team is their means of integration, their unconscious desire to
feel like anybody else.
"The story is based on their tales, following them during the games. We
have tried to tell a story of integration, without moralism or pity.
Through the camera work, we have tried to create a space big enough to
contain the unstoppable need to tell, to affirm their own identities"
(S. Spada, A. Camuffo).
