This new film marks Daniele Gaglianone′s return to Venice Days, as well as a shift in direction from his recent works, relaunching as it does one of his favourite themes, reality film. Set in Rome′s multiethnic Pigneto area, it tells the collective story of a class made up of immigrants learning Italian. The ingredients are the individual life stories of the students and their teacher as well, for a true story in a rather unconventional classroom setting. Or is it a true story? It is for the classmates, with their own voices and memories; it′s true at a different level for the actor Valerio Mastandrea who plays their teacher; and for the director and crew who weave in and out of the scene, in an interplay between real experiences and the search for truth in a fictional form, which emerges as the real narrative heart of this film, more real than reality itself
