IL TRENO VA A MOSCA

1957. In Alfonsine, one of the many towns in Romagna that was destroyed by the war, the communist barber Sauro Ravaglia and his friends dream of the Soviet Union, the only place where their ideals of peace, brotherhood and equality have come true. When they get the chance to visit Moscow during the World Festival of Youth and Students, the group of friends depart: their expectations are high and they want to bring home as many images as possible of what will be the best trip of their life.

“To Sauro, utopia wasn’t only a political idea but a virtually tangible prospect. To us, who grew up in a time when people don’t dream of an ideal society anymore, making a movie like this was an attempt to bring back that dream of utopia we have always pretended to ignore. Even if a bit of nostalgia inevitably comes through, we didn’t want to make a nostalgic movie. The fact that, still today, Sauro is traveling the world over is proof that maybe utopia isn’t a feasible objective, but a life-long search.”
