Country: Italy
Year: 2018
Duration: 82'
A stadium choir punctuated by drumming: “We are the champions of Italy.” The Drughi, the ultrà of Juventus are celebrating in the center of Turin the seventh consecutive championship won by the Juventus team during 2017-2018 season. Smoke gases, fireworks, tricolor flags introduce us to the group of “elders,” almost all of whom are warned, and to the “young” group. During the film the protagonists tell what the curve has represented for them over time: an escape, a family, an archaic rite through which to give vent to their instincts.

Declaration
film director
“Through the stories of the protagonists, we face the social and ideological transformations that our country has undergone in these decades. The protagonists are not only the ‘fifty-year-old’ characters of my previous films, but students, workers, unemployed who live thanks to the common Juventus faith that, as then, is the only condition in which they feel protagonists, recognize themselves in a group, in a faith.”
