SYNOPSIS
Openings explores the world of architectural elements that “embody” the concept of threshold, opening and relationship between inside and outside, through the voices of Italian and international architects, but also by listening to those who speak the language of music, sport, art, of the territory. Addressing the theme of the threshold, in immaterial, almost “spiritual” terms, the film investigates the close relationship between art and life, between necessity and creative effort, between philosophy and civil thought. Along the Via Emilia, geographical threshold par excellence, on a journey made up of stops, crossings, wanderings. Among the guides, Davide Cassani (Italian national cycling coach), Guido Guidi (photographer), Fiorenzo Valbonesi and Simone Sfriso (architects), Andrea Stella (founder of Lo Spirito di Stella) and Rossella Miccio (President of Emergency), but also Raoul Casadei, the king of ballroom dancing, the actor who made Romagna a real “state of mind”, and Álvaro Siza, one of the great masters of contemporary architecture.
