Avete presente il film Una notte da leoni? Bene, prendiamo Las Vegas, e sostituiamola con la Sardegna, con il carnevale fatto di maschere ancestrali, suoni che scacciano gli spiriti maligni, fuochi che bruciano per due giorni, persone che bruciano per questo momento da un anno intero e il cannonau, certo, tanto cannonau che scioglie il sangue e i nodi che tutti ci portiamo dentro. E non è finita qui, perché in Una notte da leoni c’erano i tre leoni no? Ecco, prendiamo i leoni, e al posto loro, mettiamoci tre pecore. Che saremmo noi. Cioè Luca, Giovanni ed Ezio, due attori e uno scrittore ...

Hace mucho que no lo intentamos y, en general, solemos conservar esa imagen rural, ecololó de una región que es, ahora mismo, la más urbana del mundo. Cuatro de cada cinco latinoamericanos viven en ciudades, pero no son ciudades como las que uno imagina cuando piensa en Barcelona o en París. Para saber cómo son -cómo es Latinoamérica- decidí volver a hacer eso que siempre me ha gustado hacer: ir, mirar, escuchar, pensar, contarlo." - Martín Caparrós
