Illegal Portraits
Ritratti Abusivi it’s the realistic story of an Italian outskirts and its surrealistic inhabitants, the Parco Saraceno’s squatter community. How locked up in a place infinitely degraded and timeless, from at least ten years, the abusive inhabitants of the Park await their lives between misery and lawlessness, suspended between daily violence and the dream of a normal life. But the fate of the Park Saraceno is marked. Within a few years will be torn down to make way for a huge marina, a symbol of the revitalization of the area. As a choral and grotesque portrait composed by inhabitants’s faces and words, the film follows the story and the humanity of this great and forgotten community without other place to live if not this little abusive place in southern Italy.
