Just as Mbaye is about to return to Dakar, France announces that it is closing its borders due to the Covid epidemic. A journey against the tide begins.

Il teatro vive solo se brucia (2023) The epic of travelling theaters in Italy, from the early post-war period to the advent of television, with a foray into the present, is recounted by the voice of those who lived through those years: the Carrara family.

On the French-Italian border, Nina, Lily, Sasha, Malick and other young people come from all over Europe to live in abandoned olive groves in the hinterland’s mountains. They are part of a collective to support migrants who seek to cross this border. Living in huts, they joyfully experiment in solidarity, with other forms of social organisation on the fringe of capitalist society. In the evening, next to a fire, migrants and activists tell each other stories and share their dreams. Their visions of the world confront each other. As the seasons go by, the complexity of these encounters, the dissensions within the group, and activist burn-out test their utopias.
