In the belly of the steamer
Introduction
The director retraces firsthand, fifty years later, his family's long journey to Argentina, where he was born, during the last wave of Piedmontese immigration in 1948.
Synopsis
This journey through private memory and the constant overlapping of situations, places, and sensations, along with a slowed-down and distorted use of the repertoire, form the framework for a non-analytical, but subjective and emotional reconstruction of the situation of immigrants from Piedmont.
The film thus revisits their presence in Argentine history from the post-war period to the present day, from Peronism to the economic crisis, through the dark and bloody period of the military dictatorship.
“The journey that is at the heart of this film is above all a mental journey, and in this way we manage to overcome the distinction between space (the streets and places of a “rediscovered” Argentina) and time (the history/archive and the accounts of witnesses).” (A. Signetto)
