Serle, Brescia pre-Alps. Some people are custodians of an extraordinary heritage of immaterial culture, the multipart singing as expression of identities. It’s a spontaneous event, which develops for collective entertainment. The actors talk about their way of singing, about rules to follow while singing, about places where to perform and the progressive loss of all this oral knowledge. Everyday life is interwoven with interviews and singing performances, bringing to light past traditions which survive the anonymous present time.
