8.00

Greenland has become a major geopolitical issue between the United States, Europe, Russia, and China due to its geographical location and mineral resources. Its geopolitical destiny will have significant ecological consequences for the entire planet. What choice will the people of Greenland make? The largest island in the world, with its 2.2 million square kilometers covered 80% by ice, is also one of the least densely populated territories on Earth, with barely 57,000 inhabitants. Mainly living off fishing, tourism, and Danish subsidies, yet sitting on a potential treasure. We are talking about 25% of the world's hydrocarbon reserves, the third-largest uranium reserves, and 20% of rare earths. An icy Eldorado that today sparks all sorts of ambitions, one of the hotspots where the future of our multipolar world is being shaped. This is what the film will explore, addressing both its economic and commercial challenges, as well as its geo-ecological and military implications.

Architecture student Bruna wants to renovate the convent located in the center of Piazza Magione in Palermo. This means dealing with the joys and contradictions of a square that is above all a community: there are the people who live in the buildings around it, there are young people who gather there, and there is also an association that takes care of the place and the events that are organized there. From a situation of apparent simplicity, Bruna, however, gets lost in the unsolvable enigma of bureaucracies and in the tension of an ambivalent risk: would a renovation be valorisation or denaturalization?
