Synopsis:

The Siege is a journey into the ritual that every year comes to life with the arrival of the Italian Grand Prix of the MotoGp. Nobody matters about the race: behind high barriers 150.000 spectators gather to live a crazy experience and feel free, exaggerating for one night in a place where there are no rules. An adventure into an extraordinary world and what therefore happens outside, in the ordinary one.
