Ultimo giro
Along the lines of a mockumentary, "Ultimo giro" is the story of a growing and violent gentrification of which the Pigneto was a witness, in recent years. It is the raw and sincere representation of the same reality viewed from two opposite perspectives, but it is also the demonstration of how conflict and prejudice always deserve one last chance – one last round, why not – to be resolved and overcome.
