Traveling from the Arab world to the West, to find asylum and a new beginning: men and women who cross their destinies to escape from the past and collide with the illusion of the future, the possibility of failure. Corriere di notte has the form of an atypical and poignant epistolary novel which collects the last letter written by each character: an Albanian illegal immigrant writes to the woman he loves, a lover waits for her man in a hotel room, a former jailer in escape turns to his family, a woman tells her brother that their mother has died, a young homosexual comes out to his father. These confessions, desperate and passionate, are the attempt to hold together the pieces of a choral and identity story, which tells of the contradictions of Arab society, of multifaceted violence, of power, of escape, of the shared mirage of a place where it is still possible to live.
Here, just on the point of getting lost, the letters encounter a sudden deviation in their path, an unexpected destiny in which the urgency of the word will manage to resonate even in the deaf and noisy landscape of a world in dissolution, where everything could collapse and yet it never ceases to call life and love loudly.
