Giochi di colonia 1959

Directed by Ermanno Olmi

The activities of the Edison colonies in Cesenatico, Marina di Massa, and Suna. A few animated sequences and the narration of a child describing the images like a nursery rhyme characterize this documentary, which illustrates the company's activities outside the workplace. Beach games, puppet shows, and performances staged by children, aided by carefully chosen shots, narrate the colorful and carefree world of company-subsidized vacations.
