    Presented at Biografilm 2023 in its Italian premiere, it won the Audience Award for Best Film in the International Competition. Cristina Cattaneo was awarded the Celebration of Lives Award.

Every night in the autopsy room of Dr. Cristina Cattaneo, nameless bodies arrive, the Pure Unknowns: homeless individuals, sex workers, runaways, adolescents, migrants. What happens when the dead lose their identity? No one seems to care about their dignity—except for Cristina.
