Almost every journey now intersects with the suspended and disorienting space of the airport. The quintessential non-place, it is the environment where millions of people transit daily, waiting to reach the other side of the world. Upon closer inspection, every international airport is already a world unto itself, worth observing just like an exotic and distant location. This is what Massimo D’Anolfi and Martina Parenti have done, focusing their attention on what happens in an international airport that travelers do not see. A year of stakeouts and patient observation in areas normally inaccessible is presented in four movements, structured around the passage of the seasons and equally emblematic places and moments: arrivals, security, waiting, departures. A contemplative documentary with a strong visual impact, highly awarded at festivals around the world and virtually unknown in its homeland.
