My Place is Here

Synopsis

Lombardy, Italy – March 2020.

A 30-days journey inside a hospital. A unique document on the Western World facing the unknown. A crew observes and shows, for the first time, the emotional burden and the luminous gestures that connect the medical staff and the Covid-19 patients during the outbreak of the pandemic. Beyond the inevitable isolation barriers, moments of uncertainty, pain, fragility and humility intertwine and are especially expressed through the unspoken details that hold us somewhere between symphony and tragedy.
