The film follows a group of people during the rehearsal of a future play. Through the movement of their bodies, they form a structure full of tension and try to evoke past histories.
The film follows a group of people during the rehearsal of a future play. Through the movement of their bodies, they form a structure full of tension and try to evoke past histories. The actors express the singularity of their bodies, and create in the theatrical space the opportunities for these diversities to meet. They focus on their bodies; the body is the means by which they get to know themselves, the working space and their companions. But also the means to relate to the real world, which is beyond the windows and walls of the structure where they live.
The film begins with the theatrical rehearsals filmed in Mendrisio in the gymnasium of the Torriani Foundation, then moves outdoors with shots in Parco Casvegno, which is part of the Mendrisio socio-psychiatric organisation complex, and in other scattered locations such as Balerna railway station. Some scenes were also filmed in Lugano, in the La Gente foyer of the Fondazione Diamante.
