Throughout the second half of the 20th century, a large number of families from southern Italy emigrated to Germany looking for work, often forced to leave their children to be educated in Italy. Whole generations of children thus grew up in what were called frontier orphanages. With the testimony of those involved, the film reconstructs the history of the Alcide De Gasperi Institute on Monte Bondone, operational from 1957 to 1996, and the emigrants’ children who attended it.
