Tomb of the Diver

Ines and Rafik are twenty years old and have been working for ten. They have recently lived in the Parisian suburbs, have Tunisian origins but grew up in Sicily: their existence is a precarious movement of interruptions, changes and humiliations. In the house, one is the mirror of the other; here, time stops and the city becomes more distant. When I arrive, they proudly show me the way home: Rue Garibaldi.

Three months in the life of Chiara, an actress pushing forty and trying to find her way in a bustling Rome overrun by tourists. Invisible, precarious, Chiara restlessly piles up one experience after another, searching for the thing that will make her feel alive.

The documentary tells the passion, the dreams, the weaknesses, the fears of three boys born after 1989. No one directly lived the time of Tiananmen Square, but they suffer the inevitable problems behind of exaggerated economic growth. They face a world, a society that runs beyond the speed of light, and as often happens, young people are the most fragile victims.
