PORTUALI
(Dockworkers)

A group of dockworkers from the Port of Genoa, united under the acronym C.A.L.P. (Collettivo Autonomo Lavoratori Portuali), decide that ships carrying armaments and explosives are no longer welcome among the docks of their city. Tanks, aerial bombs and drone command centers that will be used in distant wars in which these workers want no part, not even indirectly. They are struggling with authorities and unions so that their hands will no longer be forced to load and unload those materials of death. Their collective battle is intertwined with the union agenda and their private lives.
