The film deals with an imigrant woman from southern Italy, who lives in Frankfurt in the 1970s. Unusual about this film is the way of the storytelling. The original plan was to make a documentary, but none of the female protagonists were willing to be seen in front of the camera. The fear to expose their own family was too big. The law of “omerta” exists in the diaspora as well. A southern italian proverb states: “The girls greatest value is her beauty - the womans greatest value is her silence”. For this reason, in the film only the sound of Maria M. from Basilicata, can be heard. She remains anonemous. In the movie, southern italian emigrants act in Maria's story. In fact, they end up playing themselves, which gives the film several layers and adds a refreshing sense of humor.

Giuseppe looked at the horizon as one observes a desire, as something to be reached in order to try to be free.

Several years later, during a return trip to Naples, her father's hometown, Alessia finds herself observing her father again. Also this time Giuseppe is always in profile and, while the landscape flows framed in the window of a train, his gaze tries to capture every moment, to stop those moments and save them from the fast passage of time.

In 1966, Luciano Emmer was commissioned by Twentieth Century Fox to shoot a promotional film for a movie about Michelangelo starring Charlton Heston. When the deal with the Americans fell through, Emmer retrieved the footage and edited it into a documentary about Michelangelo the man, exploring the anxieties and fears revealed in his writings.

Can you be accused of being close to ‘ndrangheta families if you have pursued a career in the name of legality? The case of Ambrogio Crespi is much more than a judicial case; it is the answer to these unthinkable questions. It is the paradox that becomes reality. Accused of external complicity in mafia association, he is arrested and tried for having provided votes from mafia circles to a councilor Lombardo… never seen, never known. Although it seemed clear even to the insiders that Ambrogio Crespi was not involved in the charges, the first degree ends with an incredible sentence of 12 years, double the request of the same PM. A sentence that, like a guillotine, weighs on the life of Ambrogio and his entire family.

From Claudio Lazzaro: "The extreme right seen from the inside: its music, its leaders, its alliances, its rites, and the political acceptance that is opening the Italian Nazi-fascists the doors to institutionalized power. But why are they being accepted and recognized? Because in Italy the radical right wing accounts for 500,000 votes that play a key role within the Italian election system, where 25,000 votes can make the difference and decide who is going to govern the Country. NAZIROCK tells the story of this political transition using the 'skin', 'oi', 'white power' and 'punkadestra' musical bands who sing fascists songs as a main theme."
