In the Bambara language, in Burkina Faso, the term Kandia, composed of the words Kan (voice) and Dia (beauty), means the good voice, but also the beauty that the voice produces. In the heart of Lecce, in Puglia, a choir of voices singing their own humanity. They sing in Italian, Tamil, Swahili… An example of integration and encounter between peoples.

Recognition:
FICNOVA recognises in the film the effort to show how the approach to the “stranger”, knowing their cultures, allows mutual enrichment. Western culture, suffocated in its individualism, has a lot to learn, especially in the experience of bonding with others, beyond personal beliefs.
