A sea voyage full of expectations concludes upon reaching dry land, clashing with the adamancy and absurdity of its laws and institutions.

Shot in Super8, videos and animated cartoons, "L'isola" is focused on the migrations in the Mediterrean and tries to give image and shape to what is often overlooked by the news.

"L'isola" is a self-produced film, supported by crowdsourcing to test alternative means of financing cultural production and movie distribution.
