We always do everything to interpose unbridgeable distance between “us” and “them”. They flee from hunger, war, desperation. They are refugees, displaced and clandestine people. And so ends that we never think about normal things. To desire, the folly of youth, the taste of adventure and why not to love. Who would have said, for example, that behind the most violent revolt of the centre for identification and expulsion of Chinisia, in Trapani, there was a beautiful and moving love story? We have arrived a bit by chance. And we have decided to follow the story until the end and to make a film. With an audio recording, photo camera and the archives of video recorded with the cell phones of Winny and Nizar, the two protagonists of the film.
