It is the musical journey a lifetime. Pippo Pollina is one of the most significant Italian singer-songwriters. Some years ago he turned his back on Sicily and went to live and work in Zurich. Together with the conductor, Massimiliano Matesic, and the Conservatory of Zurich’s Youth Symphony Orchestra, the singer and composer embarks upon a remarkable concert tour – between Zurich and Sicily, between classic and pop, between politics and music. ZWISCHEN INSELN is a visually stunning, enthralling documentary film that brings together musicians of different generations and temperaments.
