- About the life and the many valuable talents of Giuseppe Bertolucci: film, theatre and TV director; writer and poet. It is told through the voice of his father Attilio (who refers to the "painful privilege" of being a younger brother), of his older brother Bernardo (who tells a story of heart-breaking sweetness about his birth), the witness accounts of friends and colleagues: Lidia Ravera, Mimmo Rafele, Marco Tullio Giordana and Nanni Moretti as well as the memories of some of his favorite actresses, Stefania Sandrelli, Laura Morante and Sonia Bergamasco. The story is told with the help of Gian Luca Farinelli (the director of the Cineteca di Bologna), and the participation of Fabrizio Gifuni, Emanuele Trevi and Aldo Nove (in whose texts we can find some of Giuseppe's thoughts). Roberto Benigni's final monologue was written as a homage to his now departed old friend. Giuseppe's physical presence and voice are found in interviews, backstage footage, debates and especially in his last and moving theatre performance: A mio padre - Una vita in versi (To my father - A life in verse), in which he tells of the anxiety and joy of his relationship with a father-poet who had made of him the topic of his lyrical production.

- On the occasion of the Second Edition of The Biennial of Valencia "La ciudad Ideal", we make a trip inside the SOLARES (or on Optimism). Lóránd Hegyi, the curator of the project, is the guiding thread of the documentary based on the latest tendencies of world contemporary art and on the various interviews released by the artists of the "SOLARES", such as Dennis Oppenheim, Richard Nonas, Marina Abramovic, Ilya Kabakov, Gloria Friedmann, Michelangelo Pistoletto, who tell about their particularly vision of the world and their peculiar approach to the reality. The video shows the concept of "Ideal city" and "chaos", seen by each one of these great artists. Valencia is an artistic laboratory where the essence of the modern urbanism and the globalization elements emerge from forgotten and dismissed corners of the city: Solares. Thanks to Lorand Hegyi expertise, audience has the chance to discover the creative profile of the town stressed by the artists words. The ancient streets of the city center are the ideal venues for the reflections of its inhabitants about the possibility to get closer to contemporary art, to interact with its creators. The concept of chaos and the idea of familiarity create a particular stressful situation for the spectator who realises the necessity of a coexistence of both aspects in a complex social system, often based on individualism. The SOLARES are empty and forgotten spaces which come back to life thanks to the art works with their colours. Art makes them become privileged spaces for imagination.
- The lives of female sheep herders in Italy. The figure of the shepherd has always been mainly a male one. But the field of sheep-goat farming is being taken over by a growing number of women who have chosen this traditional patriarchal work. The film follows the director's experience -a 2 years' journey and more of 100 interview - while living with them for some time, connecting with them deeply. These bonds of friendship and affection have become true narrative, spontaneous and intimate, of the protagonists' motivations, difficulties and satisfactions. A portrayal of this unfamiliar world, where the distinctive female outlook implies taking care of the animals and protecting their extraordinary biodiversity, alongside this, preserving the majestic high-altitude Italian landscapes.
- Swiss Guards at the time of Pope Francis.
