SYNOPSIS<\/p>\n

La Lupa is a singer. She rediscovers folksongs from the Tessin and Italy from the last few centuries and gives them a new life. Admirably accompanied by her musicians, she has a vast range of sentiments – and takes her audience with her.
\nLa Lupa sings, yes, but there is something else. She intensely lives her texts, she incarnates her songs. La Lupa does not give a show. She is the show. This redhead from the Tessin, with her raw, and at the same time tender, voice, evokes emotions that are normally hidden in daily life.
\nThe film follows episodes in her life, shows her friends, her pleasure of discovering, her passion for singing, her joy of living and her love for Italian and Tessin poetry, her country and its songs.<\/p>\n

During two years the camera observed the work carried out by craftsmen and labourers on site. The collected images, once edited, become delirious, humoristic, worrying and poetic. An experimental documentary showing a feminine and unusual perception of a building site, giving a different dimension to men\u2019s labour and their machinery.<\/p>\n

A film where music and the sound of the building site replace the spoken word.<\/p>\n
