"The Pilastro district is a public housing complex built in the 1960s on the outskirts of Bologna. It is known to the public for episodes of crime. Through the history of Pilastro and the lives of its residents, the documentary explores the relationship between architectural design and lived experience — between the planning of a space and the act of inhabiting it. It raises questions about urban development, suburban areas, and the integration of new city dwellers, reflecting on how cities are changing, with new challenges and opportunities."
