“Piccola Patria” (2013), a fiction feature film dealing with the life of two women in the province of northeast Italy. This is a very complex reality, with secessionist groups (i.e. Liga Veneta, Lega Nord, who wished to separate northern Italy from the rest of the country for cultural and economic reasons) living side to side with new immigrants, the jobless youth and a hopeless generation of people struck by the crisis.
