In 1975, Pasolini had already mentioned the Disappearance of the Fireflies and the imminent triumph of the Castle of Lies. Forty years later, French director Vincent Dieutre travels to Sicily for the first time looking for a new political hope. This documentary shows places, words, and bodies looking for the surviving fireflies. Here, Sicily isn’t a remote place but part of the contemporary complexity that blends the Internet with the new landscapes of love, the illegal migrants and the touristic shores on the south. Sicily seen as a metaphor of what is Europe today.
