Land in Between
Three episodes about immigrants living in Rome.
Directed by Matteo Garrone
Produced by Archimede
A stark, observational portrait of immigrant precarity in Rome, told through three interconnected vignettes of survival and exploitation.
On the edge of a road that leads out of town, some Nigerian prostitutes pass the time on sagging sofas, bargaining with white clients for their bodies and their thoughts. On another street, some Slavic boys wait to be hired as bricklayers, but they are willing to do any kind of work. At night, an Egyptian works as an illegal in a gas station.
