What is the sense of a mission?
Starting with Albert Camus - his novel The Stranger and his idea of The Rebel - we will explore why it is vital to be a stranger to ourselves to embrace a mission: accept, at a metalevel, this leap of faith, a trick of mind to identify and share a common direction so that single individuals can contribute to control the direction of something they are just part of. 
One episode of the famous series The Office, by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, then adapted for American television by Greg Daniels, will show what interesting core all missions share and why it is important to use them with a grain of salt.
In the end, we will hear Carlo Ancelotti, one of the most succesfull football coaches, speaking about quiet leadership: how embracing a mission is always about playing a game, swinging between illusion and reality - believing in a goal but always being strangers to it. Enjoying the ride.

With Blazing Saddles, the cult movie from Mel Brooks, we will start to roam around sedentary and migratory nature of the human beings, discussing the wicked thoughts of the people of the land - those who decide to stay and fight against those workers who are wandering around and happened to be the real builders of their cities.
Joseph Brodsky, the great Russian and American poet, will help us discuss about the condition we call exile, the role that language plays in it, how it teaches people humility. And how a free man blames no one, when he fails.

Starting from Orson Welles playing  former Nazi hiding in Connecticut in "The Stranger", we will roam around roots, religions and the sense of belonging in "The Yada Yada" episode of the comedy series Seinfeld.  Elie Wiesel will close with few words about useless answers and extraordinary questions.
