Marseille: Boulevard d'Athénes day and night, the Grande Joliette, the Corniche. Four stories, four views on the city. "Reviewing the images shot in Marseille for the feature film Flòr da Baixa, I immediately had the impression that a new film could be born from that material, largely already completed in the act of shooting, with minimal editing interventions, always taking away, without interventions on time and image. Thus Un Jour à Marseille was born, with great simplicity, the same as the little stories it shows. I believe it represents an important transition for me: from the subjective gaze of my early works to the evidence of reality, which is only apparently more transparent."

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."
