Plot:My name is nobody, Ulysses said to Polyphemus after blinding him. “I am nobody, I have no name, I am not here,” says a prisoner met in the Capanne prison. Nobody – a suitcase abandoned near a dumpster, full of slides that tell the life of a stranger. Nobody – someone recognizes in a film the places where he slept for months, adrift. As if he were a ghost in his own life. The film is For Ulysses.Fragments, variations, in the form of stories, Whatsapp messages, dreams, poems, about the other, the stranger that I am. A film born from a workshop conceived and curated by Giovanni Cioni, February-April 2024, in which two people linked to the experience of Per Ulisse, Silvia Guasti and Evis Dona, participated.PROLOGUE
