Notturno is Gianfranco Rosi’s immersive, observational documentary following civilians in war‑torn borderlands across Syria, Iraq and surrounding regions. Through long takes and intimate portraits, it chronicles daily routines, trauma and precarious hope: children at play amid ruins, a nurse tending the wounded, families fleeing frontline zones. The film observes without narration or sensationalism, letting landscapes and testimony reveal humanity, endurance and loss.
