As part of the 5th EUNIC (European Union National Institutes for Culture) Film Festival, the FNCC presents:

A small culturally mixed community living an apartment building in the centre of Rome is thrown into disarray when one of the neighbours is murdered. An investigation ensues and as each of the victim’s neighbours is questioned, recounting his or her story—the dramas of emigration, the daily equivocations of immigration, the fears and misunderstandings of a life spent on society’s margins.
