La ballata dei senzatetto
by Monica Manganelli

“The Ballad of the Homeless” is a short animated film winner of Oscar-qualifying festival “LA Short Fest” and screened in Cannes. It’s a poetic and surreal journey into the lands devastated by the 2012 earthquake in Emilia as seen through the eyes of a child - Tommy, the protagonist - and his friend, a snail. Together they discover the values of solidarity and hope - and will experience the rebirth of the land.
