Synopsis

A documentary about a village on Lake Maggiore where only one of the original residents remains, while many houses have been bought up by German and Swiss tourists. A compelling cinematic documentary that captures the perspectives of the new residents—including the filmmakers themselves—and their relationship with the Italians, while offering a (self-)critical examination of tourism in its various forms.
