What happens

Italy in a Day - Un giorno da italiani is a 2014 Italian-British documentary film directed by Gabriele Salvatores. It was part of the Out of Competition section at the 71st Venice International Film Festival. Salvatores used the crowdsourced documentary Britain in a Day as a prototype to produce Italy in a Day, which included clips selected from 45,000 video submissions recorded on 26 October 2013. The film was said to reflect the fears of Italians during a recession, their uncertainty over their national identity, and their refusal to give up on dreams. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
