Duration: 10'
A mysterious red thread seems to bind the music of a Turinese independent band, an abandoned former mental hospital, the concentration of a martial arts master and the determination of a people in a struggle for their own homeland.
"I wanted to represent what I call 'places of suffering'. This video is dedicated to all those who keep on living their own irreducibility with courage, pride, and a bitter smile… and to all those born in the fifties (or before). If you look for them, you'll find them." (Claudio Paletto)
