FOKU – FUOCO SPORCO

/0 Comments/in ,

Fire: destructive and creative energy making past and present, marking the alienated and hectic lives of thousands of factory workers as well as Jon, Miki, Sandu and Titti’s struggle for survival. The story takes place in an old, disused steelyard, a symbol of the country’s industrial past. Whole generations of workers still remember their hard and inevitable work. All that is left is empty warehouses, some blocks of flats and tortuous trails winding in the scrub. And four boys.
