Kebba had never seen the ice before, James yes: but in cubes, and inside a Coca-Cola. When the first cold fell Edward thought he would not survive more than a few days. In Gambia and Sierra Leone, where Kebba, James, Edward, Seedia, Lamin, Joseph, were born and raised, when it is cold, but really cold, there are 15 degrees. Not like in Val Pellice. Here people are used to live with cold and wind. They could have end up in Puglia, or in Campania, like many others asylum seekers, but instead they were sent to these valleys, up North, where villages are slowly dying and the weather is harsh Their life is monotonous, they have little or nothing to do. A monotony broken only by an activity unusual for African people: curling. "Ice Inside" is a documentary that wants to talk about sport, but also, if not above all, of adaptation to different lifestyles, to places, for the most various reasons, inhospitable. The curling field on which these young people meet weekly is made of ice and often made of ice is the wall that separates migrants relocated to small towns in the province and local communities.
