The main question the documentary addresses is the kind of obstacles and challenges labor migrants usually face. The project reveals the ways and mechanisms of migration, including the irregular migration. The main plot is built around three stories from different parts of Italy – Milan, Brescia and Naples. The characters tell their personal stories and share their individual experiences. We see how they live, what kind of work they do and how their lives and attitudes have been changed so far and what uncertainties they live with. The characters made the journey. Although they endured hardships, most of them were in some way successful. Although they may be in a good situation now, they faced a difficult journey and many challenges in the past. We visit the places they live, their houses and their neighbourhoods. We talk to their kids, their partners, colleagues, and friends. The main Idea will be the bridge between us (the documentary crew) and the audience which we build on from the stories of these three migrants and their families. Visually we focus both on the positive and negative, real, raw, and vulnerable stuff that they might or might not show us. We document as much as we can to show the real side of the things. And create a balance between the happy life and the truth of the past. Finally, the viewer has a right to decide about the risks of irregular migration.
