Director’s notes

Globalization broadened the horizons and the opportunities for those who look for a job abroad. No longer just America and Europe, but the Far East as well. Our attention is now on the route East, in those Lands where the differences between westerners and the easterners are clearly visible.

In young Friulans accounts some common elements emerge powerfully: the difficulty in living in such a different country because of language and writing, the will of growing, getting a career and wages that are nowadays a mirage in homeland. Moreover, the dedication and the typical Friulan constancy in facing difficulties.

Although technology has cancelled distances and pragmatism pervades our lives in young Friulan emigrants a very strong tie remains to their homeland.
