I Nostri Giorni Americani + Le Ragazze di Trieste
Cinema Ariston| ORARIO PROIEZIONI: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Lunedì 22 DICEMBRE | 16.30 | - |
La vita a Trieste durante gli anni del Governo Militare Alleato. Volti e racconti di chi all’epoca era bambino, delle ragazze che trovavano un impiego masticando un po’ l’inglese, delle Studebaker che giravano per la città. Le voci dei protagonisti di quell’epoca, in una Trieste in bianco e nero che si è ritrovata nel mondo a colori degli americani e dello swing.
La storia, o meglio, le storie di quelle ‘ragazze di Trieste’ che nei primi anni Cinquanta sono partite da Trieste per emigrare negli Stati Uniti. Giovanissime, hanno scelto di seguire un sogno, un progetto di vita, un amore. Hanno scelto mettersi in gioco, e di costruirsi un futuro diverso. Un documentario, tutto al femminile, che racconta la Trieste di quegli anni e anche l’America che quelle ragazze hanno trovato, un diario privato che racconta quella che è la nostra storia recente attraverso le voci e le immagini di alcune delle sue protagoniste, cercate e trovate grazie a una fotografia, un nome, un conoscente, un piccolo dettaglio. Un racconto corale intenso ma allo stesso tempo leggero, spesso ironico, che non guarda solo indietro ma suggerisce un possibile incontro fra passato e futuro.
