A trip across Emilia, know all over Italy as the "red region". Starting from Cavriago, a town in the neighborhood of Reggio Emilia, where there still is a bust of Lenin. And where the main square is named after a catholic politician and religious men, father Giuseppe Dossetti. A trip across a legendary past and an uncertain present, old (political) enemies who now work together, and new protagonist who knock on the door of the so called "happy island". The famous singer Orietta Berti and the contemporary band OfflagaDiscoPax, the end of the Italian Communist Party and a new identity to build. Minimal events and great stories of a region who still has something to say to Italy.
