Synopsis : In Cinque Terre in Italy, fewer than 3,000 locals share their cliffside villages with almost four million tourists a year.

Tracing six lives: Fabrizia, the young mayor torn between her community and the economy that sustains it; Bartolo, an ageing winegrower tending both his vines and his sick wife; Guido, a fisherman betting on integrity over easy money; Carmelo, a weary restaurateur running on fumes; Giorgia, his young daughter weighing the pull of the family business against a life of her own beyond these villages; and Grace and Isabel, two influencers from Chicago on a quest for social media content.

A fascinating insight into different perspectives of the phenonemon of over-tourism, as it asks important questions and examines our responsibility when we visit some of the world’s most special places. 

In English and Italian, with EN sub-titles.
