Synopsis / Inhaltsangabe / Sinossi
What does freedom mean when the whole world is trapped by an unprecedented pandemic?
Starting on June 15th 2020, when the border between Austria and Italy opened up for the first time after the Corona-related lockdown, the Austrian director Hermann Weiskopf rides his scooter for almost 5,000 kilometers from the north to the south of Italy.
Against the breathtaking backdrop of the "Bel Paese”, we witness Italians of all ages and backgrounds giving varied accounts; some tragic, some comic, some philosophical, but most of all inspiring stories!
As well as an assortment of stories from the locals, the road trip includes phases of loneliness and doubt. The physical and mental exertion begin to take their toll on Hermann.
Nevertheless, continuing his mission, Hermann reaches the most southern point of Italy, the island of Lampedusa. As through a magnifying glass, this historical road trip highlights and offers a touching snapshot of the pandemic in Italy.
Im Sattel seiner geliebten Vespa hat sich der österreichische Regisseur Hermann Weiskopf gleich nach dem ersten schweren COVID-19 Lockdown und der Wiederöffnung der Grenze am Brenner auf einen Roadtrip durch Italien bis nach Lampedusa begeben, um herauszufinden, was den Menschen dort und ihm selbst Freiheit bedeutet.
In sella alla sua amata Vespa subito dopo il primo lockdown da COVID-19 nell’estate 2020 il regista austriaco Hermann Weiskopf parte per un viaggio attraverso l'Italia fino a Lampedusa per scoprire cosa significhi la libertà ai tempi del Coronavirus per la gente e per se stesso.
