Tiziano Locci

In the historic centre of Palermo, another Italian city ravaged by overtourism, two filmmakers document a liminal moment in the life of a noble palace falling into ruin, where they live alongside other castaways of a city facing extinction, between the end of a centuries-long glorious decline and the beginning of a treacherous rebirth.

The film reveals the vampirism of capital according to Karl Marx, showing the life of immigrant workers in the Netherlands. Filmed with dreamlike calm, it shows their wait in forgotten places, living in precarious conditions where the company deducts rent from their salary, while the camera gives them a voice.
