A documentary film in poetic style with the power to tell of a secret place, an almost hidden North-Eastern area, uncertain but at the same time vigorous. Rumore bianco is a tribute to the history witnessed by the river Tagliamento, to the land across which it flows and to its people. It is a film dedicated to the river originating from a careful and poetic look at the Italian territory and a deep meditation on it. The director retraces his origins, the places and atmosphere where he grew up and researches and a rediscovers the endless natural and human universe represented by the river Tagliamento. A deeply Italian river but which is also connected to European nature: in fact it is an aisle connecting the middle of the continent to the Mediterranean Sea. Along a border territory where silence and submerged energies intermingle, the “King of the alpine rivers” flows. Backbone of a region which was a junction and crossroads in European history, the river is the protagonist of a tale that investigates the power of nature and its resistance, to the everyday life of men, women, and their most stubborn forms, because “water is endowed with memory”.
