A narration that becomes an oblique gaze capable of collecting fragments of the landscape and establishing relationships between them: the territorial coordinates dissolve in the succession of omnivorous sequences, close up in the form of a video-interview. Among the reflections collected in this “supervision” of the contemporary urban scenario, the voices of: Enzo Mari, Dante Ferretti, Giorgio Battistelli, Angela Barbanente, Renato Nicolini.

Episodes of an investigation into new geographies of collective space, in search of the possible meanings of the word live. Chapters of one big story on the landscape and on the man who lives there, to document the identity of the elusive places: megalopolises and small towns, shopping centers and local markets, traffic arteries and streets, town centers and suburbs anonymous, metropolitan landscape and horizons of open countryside.
