A poetic narrative of Greco through the eyes and experiences of Gianni Banfi, one of the most active figures in the neighborhood. Through a silent walk in the symbolic places of Greco, the film is a gentle farewell that gazes toward a hopeful future. It offers a perspective of change, interpreting the desires of the residents who inhabit the neighborhood and fight every day to ensure that Greco remains, today and tomorrow, a place of community and a stronghold of resistance.

Silvia Costa is an artist, director, and performer from Treviso. From 2006 to 2020, she was an artistic collaborator and performer with the theater company Societas Raffaello Sanzio, founded by Romeo Castellucci. Since 2007, she has developed a visual and poetic theater that draws on research into imagery as a catalyst for reflection and audience engagement. Depending on the project, she takes on roles as author, performer, or set designer, conducting her personal exploration of theater through diverse artistic languages and fields. Silvia Costa has been an associated artist with Triennale Milano Teatro and the Centre dramatique national d’Angers. Since 2020, she has been part of the artistic ensemble at the Comédie de Valence. In July 2022, she was appointed Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture.

Artist and director Giulio Squillacciotti (1982) focuses on investigating possible narratives, the sophistication of real events rooted in historical and anthropological contexts, cultural peaks, and how traditions take on new forms by changing their environment. He has produced documentaries and fictional works shot in Austria, Ireland, the Netherlands, Turkey, and other countries, showcased at international festivals, museums, and film festivals.

Born in Milan in 1978, Nicola Ratti is a multifaceted musician and sound designer active in various experimental fields, including theater, film, performance art, radio plays, and sound art, in international contexts such as art and architecture festivals and biennials. His sonic production creates systems shaped by repetition and expansion, with a particular focus on the relationship with the space and architecture we inhabit.

Giulia Boccarossa (1995) is a graphic designer specializing in art direction and editorial design, based between Milan and Rome. Her internationally recognized work has received numerous awards, and her projects have been exhibited in prestigious contexts, including the exhibition "Il mestiere di grafico oggi" at Triennale di Milano (2023) and "Made in Italy NYC" at One Art Space Gallery in New York (2024).
