SYNOPSIS

“Terra Mia Terra Nostra” is more than a family movie. Through the life of characters we first met 14 years ago, the film tackles the universal question of belonging to a particular country.  It’s about the clash of languages, traditions and cultures, as well as the takeover of new generations which means memories are lost to an imaginary Italy. Today’s life is somewhere else. The feeling of belonging to two cultures and having two nationalities is transposed into a constant research of significance. Where can one find balance? How can one define oneself?
