VIA PADOVA- USER’S MANUAL

Maria is a grandmother of four, she is a caregiver and every week she sends parcels of gifts to
Moldavia. Rosario is a single mother, she has two jobs and comes from Ecuador. Lola is an Argentinean prostitute and Tomoko a Japanese pop artist. Nihal arrived from Egypt in her wedding dress and lives in the apartment building where drugs are pushed. Jenny and Dorothea are 16 and they chase them out of the shops because they are Roma. Fragments of lives meet in Milan in Via Padova, 4 kilometres that go from the city centre to the outskirts.
