Description
Summary:Verzio FF Submission A journey across Italy set to the rhythm of long-distance express trains, long abandoned to a destiny of slow decay, as they cross the Italian peninsula from South to North and back again, in a trip spanning night and day. It is a succession of landscapes, buildings, faces, dialects, voices and lives which blend together aboard the trains. Inside the bare carriages, the lives of the passengers, who often speak different languages, intersect. Outside the train, through the dirty, steamed up windows, landscapes devastated by man and landscapes of incredible beauty become visible.
