- Synopsis
- Terni, the place of origin of the director's mother, is the Italian city of steel and Saint Valentine. Where it is said once laid an immense necropolis, one of Europe’s largest steelworks has been built. In this place full of striking contrasts, personal biography and anthropological investigations intertwine with the singing and disenchantment of a working-class rock band. And as a bathyscaphe, plunged into the abyss, returns from the past, a buried family truth begins to resurface.
