Reviews

“Combining poetry and realism, small and big history, in an original and personal animation style, Alain Ughetto signs a very endearing work of testimony on Italian migration.”

Cineuropa

“The film balances tragedy with playful moments.”

Screen Daily

It’s a personal story, a family history, and also an important record of historical events, the relationships among (European) countries and their people. Told through adorable animation and in a humorous tone, the strive of a family leaves an impression on the audience that will stay for a long, long time.
