Palermo June 12 - One city, two battles: politics and passion collide

On June 12, 2022, Palermo stood divided between the ballot box and the football pitch. This action-packed documentary is a visceral chronicle of a historic day when the city prepared to bid farewell to longtime Mayor Leoluca Orlando while also riding a wave of hope as its football team fought for promotion to Serie B after years of financial ruin.

The film follows the electoral battle between a center-right revival and a center-left continuity campaign, all while the heartbeat of the city thunders from stadium to square. Through vivid street scenes and intimate interviews, the documentary captures Palermo’s identity in flux, where politics, football, and collective memory all clash—and converge—in a single day.
