Made in Italy

The discovery of the film ’Train sortant d’un tunnel’, made by the Lumière brothers in 1897 in the Tuscan city of Carrara, constitutes Fabio Wuytack’s starting point for a discovery of his own roots. This quest for an overlooked piece of history takes him closer to home than he might ever have imagined. With the help of some inhabitants of the city, a couple of faded pictures and blurry memories he does not merely discover bit by bit the forgotten location of the mythical tunnel, but also the places where the filmmaker was created and baptised. A moving and personal document, drenched in nostalgia and tender melancholy.
