Desc: Melior de Cinere Surgo (Rinasco dalle ceneri ancor più bella): Directed by Antonio Costantino. With Fabio Costanzo, Andrea Lo Cicero, Plinio Milazzo. "Melior de Cinere Surgo" tells a Catania pervaded by an extraordinary devotion, a city overwhelmed by many adversities, perhaps bent by them, but never broken. The title of the film mentions the famous inscription on the Ferdinandea gate which fully summarizes the proud spirit of a population that has learned to be reborn from its ashes like a phoenix. Leonardo is a Roman television journalist by adoption but born in Catania, who will find his roots thanks to a service to be carried out around the preparations for Sant'Agata's parade. In an unexpected way he finds himself catapulted to document a devastating and unforeseen event: the earthquake that hit the Municipalities of Zafferana Etnea in December 2018. It collects testimonies of despair, resignation among the people but also and above all a feeling of pride, a pride and a desire to "start all over again" typical of the Sicilian people. The memories linked to an event he has always heard of will resurface with overwhelming intensity just when he is called to observe and listen to "devotees" for work, finding himself completely immersed in a context of great emotional impact. The conflict between the instinct to want to fall as much as possible in a context to which he feels he belongs and the reason that brings him back to thinking that it is only work. Leonardo will understand what pushes the devotees of Sant'Agata to carry the weight of the candles, the Sicilians to resist and start again where the earthquake has left rubble, the people of Catania to love a volcano instead of being afraid of it?
