His words reveal a past filled with regrets. His voice and his music proving his pure talent.
- Mero, a skilled shipyard worker, is a single father. His son Lorenzo, born from a relationship with an Albanian girl, is his only reason for living. The father dreams that the boy will become a champion boxer, to make up for his own anonymous career as an amateur in the ring. This is why he puts him through a tough training program, teaching him day after day to throw punches and protect himself from life's low blows. The balance of this relationship is disturbed by the return of Lorenzo's mother Denisa and by the son's meeting with young Ana. Mero's trials are not over and he must face up to pain, his prejudices and the remoteness of Italy's north east.

- The "water roads" are at times the only practicable roads across the Amazonian forest. Even for the local inhabitants, life along the river means keeping it navigable and protecting it from the environmental damage caused by deforestation. Augusto Contento brings a light, lyrical touch to a world fast disappearing, never straying from the river itself, in an unusual road movie that rides Brazil's majestic watery highways and gives voice to a profusion of enough scholars, river dwellers, and travelers to do a magical South American novel proud.
- Immediately after the earthquake in L'Aquila, hundreds of video cameras were turned on the city, but the ones used for this film are the 'eyes' of those native to the stricken city. A film crew that knows L'Aquila's social fabric shows the 'off-camera' action in the wake of the catastrophe.

- Green, White, Red: three colors for three chapters, each touching a strand of contemporary Italian life.

In the final part, Lucrezia Le Moli paints a lucid, sincere, impartial and revelatory picture of the Italians' perception of politics. Three small yet great investigations pervaded with a disconcerting wisdom and a mature, competent sense of the cinema of the real.
