2025 - 29' – Italian (Available subtitles: Italian, German, English)
Mimì struggles as a trade unionist alongside dozens of workers after a mass lay-off. In this battle, she wonders whether her role as a militant has created spaces for change or whether it has been futile.
Born in Bolzano in 1995. During his university studies he became interested in cinema and attended a course on documentaries at the Sentieri selvaggi film school. He believes that the cinema of reality is an excellent hammer and anvil with which to sculpt and imagine a reality. He graduated in Directing at ZeLIG - School for documentary. His first short film (I sommersi, 2024) was selected in national and international festivals.
Marino, born in Naples in 1996 and raised in Turin, first approached the audiovisual world during high school, starting with music videos, short documentaries, and early experiences on independent film sets. He graduated in cinematography at the ZeLIG school in Bolzano and works as a camera operator and assistant on feature films, documentaries and commercials.
After almost 15 years of political activity with the desire to change the “social grammar” to which we are accustomed, I asked myself whether it still makes sense to fight today. So to get away from any decadent attitude and try to answer these questions, I wanted to tell the story of Mimì's daily struggle to contribute to another culture that is opposed to the bourgeois one and not to see oneself “above the fray”.
