La gita
At the age of 14, Megalie, daughter of an immigrant family from Senegal but born and brought up in Italy, is faced with the difficult task of finding a place for herself in the world she is living in. When she is denied the opportunity of taking part in a school trip abroad, a perfect occasion for the girl to reveal her feelings to her classmate, that place in the world will seem unattainable to her. But will it really be so? (Salvatore Alloca)
Music versus immersion, diversity versus everyday racism, feeling versus loneliness: "La gita" tells in an emotional, harmonious, italo- and franko-jazzy, touching way of the immigrant daughter Magalie and her tutoring for the math-weak swarm like the diversity-weak passer-by. In the end, the courage of the film will be worthwhile, in the plot, because instead of the school trip a heart waits for magic, and in the echo of the film, because to young people over 14 years in all openness a small, fine hope will be given.
