A pair of lovers spend together a century old while the mode, objects and films are followed in a slow and inexorable descent toward the horror. Their obsession with octagonal knob of the coffee and the anonymous design will accompany them along the passing of decades.

A circular urban symphony, flanked by the original music score "16/49 (rondeau) per organo sintetico 2014" by the composer dario agazzi. Using black and white super8 film, the directors intend to investigate the work of the architect Luigi Mattioni, a leading figure in the transformation of milan after world war II. Ridotto Mattioni approaches both architectural and musical elements in a recursive way, retracing the signs of change of a city that is defining its identity once again.
