Pop Art interiors, psychic drifting and the myths of mass tourism seen from the Rimini Skyscraper, one of the symbolic buildings of the city. 100 metres tall, inaugurated in 1959 as an icon of a small town that was being transformed into a beachfront metropolis, the building, considered by some an eco-monster and by others as a technological paradise, today is a vertical neighbourhood, inhabited by people from about 20 different countries.
Its humanity and landscape are examined in the first person by one of its residents, in an open dialogue with the skyscraper itself (whose voice is performed by Ermanno Cavazzoni, screenwriter of Federico Fellini’s last film The Voice of the Moon).
An autobiographical reflection that raises questions about the very forms of contemporary documentary cinema.

Marco Bertozzi (1963) is one of the group of directors who have done much to breathe new life into the Italian documentary. He combines practical film-making (with award-winning films such as Appunti romani, 2004, Il senso degli altri, 2007, Predappio in luce, 2008) with a strong theoretical component (in books such as History of the Italian documentary, 2008, or Recycled cinema, 2012). Film curator of Italian documentaries reviews (at Villa Medici, Cinémathèque del Quebec, Amiens Film Festival, Museum M9 in Venice), has taught Documentary Film at the Experimental Center of Cinematography in Roma, at CISA Film Academy in Locarno (CH) and now at the Universitè du Quebec in Montreal and IUAV University of Venice.
