SYNOPSIS
Children play war between the abandoned houses of a mountain village. Tommaso and Riccardo with other guys build a motor tricycle, spending the summer between the parking lots and hangars. Lorenzo is the son of a transhumant shepherd, and he wouldn’t like to continue his father’s profession, but to spend a summer like other teenagers. Belluno is one of the many Italian provinces that is becoming depopulated. Movida tells it through the eyes of children and young people who live there.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE
Movida is a movement, a path, a search for life in a depopulated world. A tree transformed into a human being and forced to move in a desert world, or children and teenagers who try to understand where their future will be. I merged poetry, archival film footage and observation documentary to tell the depopulation of the Italian province, but through the eyes of young people.
