Real People

An NGO saves 114 migrants scattered in the Mediterranean. While they wait to be able to land in Europe, their private conversations are recorded and then translated.

The documentary tells the story of the rescue in the Mediterranean Sea of 114 migrant people and the following ten days aboard the Ocean Viking ship waiting to be able to land in Europe. Through their private conversations (filmed in the original language and then translated into Italian), the film immerses us in the lives of these people in their most uncertain moment, becoming a sort of reality show in the middle of the sea.
