    • Synopsis
    • This film portrays the Turin area in the past and present, which in 1961 was the scene of the “ITALIA ’61” international labor expo. On that occasion, an entire neighborhood was built to celebrate, through futuristic works, the progress and well-being of Italy during the economic boom. ’61 was also the year in which immigration from the south to northern Italy reached its peak and it was these “new Turinese” who went en masse to visit the expo.
      Today, together with the Moroccan poet and immigrant Mohamed Amine Bour, we cross these places like aliens from a future that already appears old, to reflect on what is left of that promise of progress and to abandon ourselves to the pampering of memory.
