Lavorare con lentezza
In 1976 Bologna, Sgualo and Pelo, who are approaching 20 and dream of escaping their daily lives, frequent a local bar as a means to cope. There they meet a dubious character, for whom they begin to do small jobs. One such job requires burrowing through an underground tunnel to the city center. Their target is the Bank Piazza Minghetti. Despite reservations, the two accept the task. They brighten up their long nights of hard, somewhat questionable work by listening to Radio Alice, student movement radio. An unknown universe to the most respectable citizens and young people who live in the suburbs, it is a staple for the urbanites and politically aware.

(Digital presentation. Italian language with English subtitles.)

Director Guido Chiesa is scheduled to be present.

Note: the screening will be held in Radio-Television 251.
