The most unknown Italian band tours Japan. The whole story.

The most unknown Italian band tours Japan. The whole story. Utveggi are an independent rock/prog band from Palermo, Italy. A group of five late 20s early 30s very close friends who decides, even without a solid fanbase outside their hometown, to venture into an unpredictable tour in Japan. Accompanied by their music, a mixture of cultures, languages and genres, this documentary is a journey through their ambitions, expectations and discoveries in a world culturally and geographically miles away. A manifesto of an entire generation always looking for a room in this world, for a chance to prove itself, even if that would mean fly to the other side of the world not knowing what to expect. A documentary shot, cut and produced by Alessandro Mariscalco. Utveggi are: Valerio Mirone (vocals), Simone Giuffrida (guitar), Bruno Pitruzzella (guitar), Luca La Russa (bass), Giuseppe Montalbano (drums).
