“I am at the border, at the Brenner pass. It is here that my journey through Italy begins. At the customs I show my Italian passport. For I am an Italian, although I've never actually lived in Italy: Italy is my father's country. It's the first of November. All Saints' Day. Ognissanti.” A travel diary of a jouney through Italy; a winter journey filmed by an Italian who has never lived in Italy as milions of other Italians spread auround the world by emigration: Between discovery and reflection, lightness and melancholy, between the Brenner pass and Sicily. Do we know Italy in the winter? And: Where is Misterbianco?

«Sono al Brennero, al confine. E' inverno. Qui inizia il mio viaggio attraverso l'Italia. Alla dogana mostro il mio passaporto italiano. In fondo, sono italiano. Ma non ho mai vissuto in Italia. E' il primo novembre. Ognissanti.» Il giornale di bordo di un viaggio invernale attraverso un'Italia diversa, filmato da un italiano, che non conosce l'Italia, come milioni di altri italiani sparsi nel mondo. Tra scoperta e riflessione, tra divertimento e melancolia, tra Brennero e Sicilia. Conosciamo l'Italia invernale? E poi: Dov'è Misterbianco?
