San Siro

The film, set in the San Siro stadium in Milan, a national institution, offers an unusual point of view on the football world. At the narrative’s center is the usually hidden reality of the workers: essential to the preparation of a match. Technicians, directors of television coverage, the workers become unwitting protagonists of the story, revealing repeated and timeless gestures. In the course of a day’s work, the film takes place on the morning following the preparation of the actual football spectacle, the end-product of all the stage action; on the other hand are the players, led by Balotelli. The project, conceived within ArteVisione, was presented as part of the MAXXI Prize 2014.
