Clouds appear to be all the same, but only from a distance; they change all the time, and even when they cause damage they are crucial to life on earth. In the same way, social movements put energy back into circulation; they are a response to bottled-up energies in the society at large. Guido Chiesa directs a sort of essay in images that stars a meteorologist, Luca Mercalli; a Scottish teenager, math and music whiz; and an animated cartoon scientist. The result is a highly illuminating and stirring allegory that links weather disturbances to the sensibility of those living on this planet here and now.
Le nuvole appaiono omogenee ma solo a distanza, cambiano in continuazione e anche quando creano danni sono necessarie alla vita. Allo stesso modo, i movimenti sociali rimettono l'energia in circolo, sono una risposta alle energie bloccate della società. Un metereologo, Luca Mercalli, un adolescente scozzese genio della matematica e della musica, quattro lavoratori precari e uno scienziato a cartoni animati sono i protagonisti di un'allegoria rivelatrice ed emozionante, che unisce le perturbazioni meteorologiche e il senso di chi vive qui ed ora su questo pianeta.
