Matera is an ancient and fascinating city, but it is also isolated and less known than many others Italian towns. However, every year many foreigners decide to stop here, between the history and the beauty of the city, searching for a new life. Migrants, expats, students and workers: they are very different from each other, but they all chose Matera as a new home.
Why Matera? Where do the new inhabitants of the city come from? What are they looking for? How do they influence the territory? What do they lose and what they earn moving here?

And above all, what is it that makes them feel at home in Matera?

We want to start this movie from the concept of home itself: how do we all decide what is home and where to live according to different cultures and aspirations?

From the "Sassi", the typical houses dug into the calcarenitic rock, to the more modern part of the city, we also explore - thanks to a team of young architects - the evolution of urban architecture in Matera. Entering the houses of the new inhabitants of the city to discover rites, habits, dreams and fears that we only share where we feel more secure: between the walls of our own home.
