Plot

A documentary that highlights the faces, places and emotions of Napoli Summer Universiade, the World University Games hosted in Italy in July 2019. The film shows how the event involved all five of Campania's provinces. It takes a cinematic approach to documenting preparations for the event, via images of the renovated facilities, the arrival of the athletes, the Games torch relay and the views of the people involved, with the Regional Agency for the Universiade ARU and International University Sports Federation FISU making a key contribution. But, above all, the film captures the spirit of the joyful marathon that was the Universiade, made up of human and sporting encounters and which united Campania in commitment and pride to achieving a common goal: to show Italy and the whole world its most beautiful side.

A testimony of the frenetic work that allowed Naples and Campania, following the withdrawal of Brasilia, to organize in a very short time the second multi-sport event in the world: the 30th Summer Universiade Napoli 2019. Olympic champions, torch-bearers, members of the Organizing Committee, institutional figures, volunteers and citizens tell this unique experience. A brief visit into some of the 70 refurbished facilities throughout the region and the first athletes living there, the Flame and Torch Relay which touches all the provinces of Campania, in a race against time up to the Naples 2019 Opening Ceremony , an unforgettable event that hosted about 8000 representatives of sports delegations from all over the world.
