Ombre a Mezzogiorno is an immersion in the double identity. Rita and Tullio face their own family uprooting against the backdrop of a Turin in post-industrial transition, while carrying on a dialogue with a remote southern region, Calabria, in an advanced state of depopulation and dangerous abandonment. Distant and opposite processes intertwine in a debut that chooses the autobiographical tool to delve into one of the priority issues in Italian society.
