Alberto is a journalist and film critic with a passion for the "geography of cinema". Angelina is a young foreign photographer who moved to Rome a few years ago. Alberto has finally decided to dedicate himself to a new project: writing a book - an essay somewhere between tourist guide and historiographical reconstruction - with the aim of pointing out all, or almost all, of Rome's locations for famous film sequences. He therefore revisits some of those sets, while Angelina records, through her photo camera, all Alberto's investigations and interviews. "It is thanks to the films that have been shot here, thanks to their 'memory', that Rome goes from being ancient to modern and alive. Really thanks to those film makers that let themselves become involved in this journey. They are the guarantors of memory and the custodians of its modernity." (Francesco Matera)
