La Restanza

Castiglione d’Otranto, Salento, far south of Italy. A group of young people in their thirties decides to remain in a place where “nothing has ever happened and nothing will ever happen.” They persuade the elders to join them and put their overgrown plot at the service of the community. The land becomes the bond between those who do not want to leave and the elderly who remain, between migrants, young people in search of prospects and passing by strangers. Castiglione becomes the village of Restanza, the art of staying while continuing to move, the art of being together. The film tells the story of this fantastic adventure. (Torino Film Festival)
