Their collaboration started with the short documentary Belva Nera in 2013 and the award-winning documentary Il Solengo in 2015. Their work focuses on folk tales and legends of the peasant tradition and on the incomplete and imperfect mechanism of oral tradition that ends up giving rise to new stories.
