“I was born Italian, but I became Luxembourgish as well, traveling with two passports. It is a journey that holds many questions. [...] So there are many stories to tell. Without my parents’ generation, IO STO BENE would not be relevant; but neither would it be without the migratory movements of today and tomorrow. [...] This film is the continuation of the work I initiated with the documentary TERRA MIA, TERRA NOSTRA, this time with the desire to move away from my personal history. But above all, it was necessary to find a contemporary approach to the subject, a link between the historical migrations of the 1960s and the new departures that the southern European countries have been facing in recent years. It is a perpetual renewal with many similarities and differences. I wanted to tell the story of generations meeting, each one carrying their own baggage.”
