Un Bel Nulla

Short documentary — Direction

— A portrait of a remote Italian village in the heart of the Abruzzese mountains, where a small community of ageing residents shares their joys and memories. Through these remaining inhabitants, we get a glimpse of a resilient way of life, in a village that knows it might not exist soon.


“I paesi non moriranno, ma subiranno decenni di
abbandono e di trascuratezza.”Franco Arminio
