The cave town of Matera is one of the oldest continually inhabited spots in Europe.
The small town in the Basilicata was designated as Italy’s shame in the 1950s on the basis of the novel «Christ Stopped At Eboli» by Carlo Levi. For a few years everything has changed: Matera becomes 2019 European Capital of Culture. And since this decision has been made, buildings are being renovated, school classes from all over Italy are being dragged through the narrow streets, and dedicated volunteers are working on all kinds of cultural and other projects, so that Matera will remain an attractive place to live and work.
A film about exceptional people in an extraordinary city.
