Awarded the Prize «Costantino Nigra», V edition 2007 Visual Anthropology / Multimedial Systems Section

Synopsis:
One day in Valfloriana (Fiemme Valley), one day in  Grauno (Cembra Valley), one day in Palù del Fersina (Fersina Valley) and one day in Varignano (Arco), the film follows three (and one half...) of the most significant traditional Carnivals that still take place in the valleys of Trentino. Far from the prevailing format of the masked pageant, in reality these carnivals are closely reminiscent of the winter fertility rituals that are found in all Europe.
