The history of Italy in the 20th century is recounted through the typewritten pages of Vincenzo Rabito, a semi-literate former farm laborer born in the province of Ragusa in 1899, collected in the book Terra matta. The texts are read by actor Roberto Nobile and accompanied by music by Paolo Buonvino, footage from the Luce archive alternating with images of modern Sicily in the Monti Iblei area, and interviews with Rabito's family and fellow villagers.
Directed by Costanza Quatriglio
