Ritratti abusivi is the story of an Italian suburb and its inhabitants: the community of Parco Saraceno housing estate. Cooped up in an environment of endless squalor for at least ten years, the squatter residents of the Park live caught between violence and the dream of a normal life. But the fate of Parco Saraceno is already decided. In a few years it will all be torn down to make way for a marina. Like a grotesque portrait made up of the faces and words of the inhabitants, the film follows the story of this community that has nowhere to live but an illegally constructed residential park in South Italy.
