Enrico Verra

Having just moved back in with his working-class parents, twentysomething on-and-off philosophy undergrad Walter navigates turn-of-the-millennium Turin and Gen-X ennui.

In San Salvario, the area in Turin with the largest number of immigrants, an unemployed photographer adapts himself to working for them. They are eager to send their families and friends at home pictures proving their success in Italy. After being fired from the local newspaper and practically penniless, the protagonist gets more sympathy from the San Salvario foreign people than from his fellow citizens, who seem to be only interested in the profit they can make with multi-ethnic contacts.
