Declaration
film director
“The pathway which led to Talien was therapeutic and educational; it was a true cultural journey, even before it was a physical one. Making this movie was a fundamental moment in my life; it somehow marks a before and an after. It is in part thanks to this film that, today, I can think about what it means to me to be Italian, Moroccan or anything else.”
