The Castle is a filmabout Malpen-
sa airport, a place where control
measures put a serious strain on
the freedom of individuals, ani-
mals and goods passing through.
Italian and foreign secret services,
customs police, financial police,
sniffer dogs, explosive detectors
and closed circuit cameras are
the “actors” we follow to portray
a permanent security testing area
unlike any other public space.
