Over the course of nearly two years, Rosi explored the 70-kilometer stretch of the Grande Raccordo Anulare (GRA) — the ring road that encircles Rome. Through his patient and observant lens, he brings the lives of ordinary people into focus, composing a portrait of a unique microcosm on the city's outskirts. The film reveals the hidden humanity that thrives in the shadow of this massive circular highway, offering a thoughtful reflection on life at the edges of Italy's capital.
The title Sacro GRA is a clever play on words, evoking the term "Sacro Graal" (Holy Grail) in Italian.
