Take a day in the life of different people who don’t know each other, who live in different places, each with their own personal story, hopes, dramas, worries, with only one common ground: being Italian. Give them a camera or a smartphone and ask them to film themselves during an ordinary day, trying to answer some questions such as “what are you scared of?”, “what is love for you?”. Add one of the most talented Italian movie directors and mix all the ingredients and what do you get? “Italy in a Day”: the latest movie experiment by Gabriele Salvatores.

Italians have been asked to film themselves during a day (the 26th of October 2013), showing their life, habits and sharing their feelings about the future, their beliefs, hopes and fears with a camera or a smartphone and to contribute to the creation of the movie. “Italy in a day” is an experiment, which wants to portray Italy through the Italians, their voices and eyes, going inside their lives and letting them decide what to show and share.
