CALIFORNIA DREAMING

Exploration of California City, the third largest city in California in terms of surface, but with a practically non-existing agglomeration. At least not as the idealist Mendelsohn had envisioned when he bought the land in 1958 and laid out wide avenues through the sandy expanses. The businessman never managed to attract investors. Fabrizio Maltese tries to embrace these places marked by never inhabited plots. The stories of its inhabitants with different origins, like the one of Jean-Paul LeBlanc, who left from and their precariousness, embody the disillusions of the American Dream.
