CONTAINER 158
Stefano Liberti ed Enrico Parenti | Italy | 2013 | 60'
Giuseppe gets up every morning and he goes around looking for the iron. Remi is a mechanic without garage: he waits for someone to bring him a car to be fixed. Miriana is expecting two twins. Brenda would like to have a job but she has no documents: she's born in Italy, but she doesn't have the nationality. She has neither that of her country of origin, Montenegro, which has "erased" her, as she says. Sasha, Diego, Marta, Cruis go to school every morning. But they never arrive in time: the field where they live is some kilometers away, the minibus delays and gets often blocked up in the traffic. Through their stories, "Container 158" tells the daily life at the "equipped village" in Via di Salone, a field where the administration of Rome has gathered more than 1000 Rom citizens. Out of the Ring Road, away from everything and everybody.
