Four Stories connected by one specific territory in the mountains of Italy and Utopia : 
The WW2 Resistance and the partisan's republic of ValBorbera ('43 - '45). The largest Hippy Community of the '60s that settled in the same mountain farms and thirty years later, Judith Malina's Living theatre arrived in Rocchetta, upon the invitation for an artist residency, where they lived and worked for over five years, producing RESIST. A show that travelled Europe, the Middle East to land back in New York, based on the stories of old partisan's Commander "Carlo" G.B. Lazagna. A thin line connects these experiences living nowdays in the Campo Carlo - an open associations of artists creating, farming and repopulating High Altitude Rural Territories: this Line is the search for Freedom.
