News from the future: In June's European parliamentary elections, the anti-immigrant sentiment will (re)confirm the rise of right-wing extremists across the continent. Last fall, on the island of Lampedusa in Sicily, where most migrants arrive by sea to Europe, they outnumbered the locals (not coincidentally the setting for another award-winning film, Gianfranco Rossi's Fuocoammare). This is not the place to debate how many immigrants and/or refugees Europe can accommodate, but one question remains: Who are these people? Which also makes the topic of the film selected as the Italian entry for the 96th Academy Awards, where it was further nominated for Best International Feature Film.
