In the hills of northern Italy, Alvaro leads the life he has always dreamed of. His days are made up of small things, limited needs, pleasures tied to the present. Soon, however, his freedom is put at risk.

Statement: I started to think at this film as a work about environment and I thought a personal story can make us connect more with the topic but later on, if I think about it, I guess it questions also the theme of displacement and reflects metaphorically on today's genocide. What does it mean to be forced to leave what we call home? My film explores the fragility of freedom and belonging through the lens of displacement. At first, it appears to be about the environment — the small, simple things that make up life — but as the story unfolds, it becomes a reflection on what it means to lose “home.” By portraying this experience in an intimate and personal way, I invite viewers to step into the perspective of someone forced to rebuild identity elsewhere. The film encourages empathy not through grand statements but through small, human details — gestures, memories, and the quiet grief of separation. It asks audiences to understand displacement not as a statistic, but as a deeply emotional, universal experience. As a migrant, I live between places — belonging everywhere and nowhere at once. My sense of culture has become fluid, shaped by movement, memory, and language. I connect to fragments of different worlds, carrying sounds, foods, and gestures from my origins while absorbing new ones in my adopted home.
