Narrated by the unmistakable voice of Bruno Pizzul, Orcolat is a choral tale that interweaves the memory, identity, and rebirth of Friuli almost fifty years after the 1976 earthquake.
Through the testimonies of artists, athletes, writers, and scholars—including Dino Zoff, Manuela Di Centa, Fabio Capello, Paolo Rumiz, Ester Kinsky, Davide Toffolo, Tullio Avoledo, and many others—the film creates an emotional and collective mosaic of that historical moment that indelibly marked the region and its people.
Far from rhetoric, Orcolat explores not only the strength and solidarity of reconstruction, but also its contradictions and the shadows of the first relief efforts.
With music by Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti and Elisa, the film becomes a journey into the memory and resilience of a people capable of rebirth, transforming pain into vital energy and a shared heritage.
