The emergency of living quarters, as told through the experiences of the inhabitants of Roma Residence, a residential complex located in Bravetta, not far from downtown Rome. This documentary isn’t an investigation; it shows the metamorphosis of a living experience that lasted over a year. It shows the faces, the dynamics between different communities, the residence building itself and the changes it undergoes. “Once the spatial-temporal coordinates were set out and once the existence of a ghetto and its decay just a few kilometers from the center of Rome was established, the film took off with a succession of sequences toward a reflection that above all valorizes the visual experience. The chronological story is almost always a pretext for visualizing the spaces, the internal dynamics within the various communities, the encounters between people in their environment, their arenas. […] The film develops and finds its meaning in an increasingly intimate way of representing the relationship between the residence and its inhabitants.”
