Official Selection – Feature-length Documentary Competition

Baia del Re is a neighborhood on the outskirts of Milan. In a particular school the destinies of a young girl and a teacher cross each other. Lasciando la baia del Re contains several plots: the painful and therapeutic story of a loss, the diary of a relationship that grows and deepens day by day, the portrait of a ‘difficult’ community, the chronicle of a travel through the wonders of the Arctic, with the constant threat of polar bears...a unique film, which was conceived as "a declaration of love and anger."
