Trough the use of oral testimonies, archives, and animations, the documentary leads the viewer to discover the epic journeys of the Tabarchino people across the Mediterranean over the centuries. The story began in Pegli in the 1600s when a group of people from Liguria travelled to Tabarka in Tunisia for trade matters; they then reached Carloforte, Calasetta(Italy), and Nueva Tabarca (Spain) from the 1800s to the present day. The film tells the adventures of a people that can be considered the emblem of cultural mingling, migrations, and connections with other Mediterranean populations while still tenaciously preserving its own roots and culture. The video was made by GInko Film for the project Ràixe – Spazi digitali per la cultura tabarchina by the social coop Millepiedi from Sant’Antioco and was funded by the “Domos de sa cultura” public call for tenders from the Autonomous Region of Sardinia.
Il documentario è stato ideato appositamente per il museo Ràixe-Spazi digitali per la cultura Tabarchina, che è stato inaugurato nel 2019 a Calasetta.
