A cinematic celebration of sport between lake and mountains

Lugano is a city where sport is not an exception, but part of everyday life. Between the lake and the mountains, movement shapes the landscape just as much as architecture or nature.

After Lugano, the City of Sport, this Director’s Cut continues the same narrative: shifting the focus from explanation to sensation, from structure to flow.

This film is a pure sports-driven portrait of the city.

The camera moves through disciplines, environments and rhythms: tennis courts and fencing halls, forest training sessions and climbing walls, cycling through villages, basketball courts, rowing on the lake. Again and again, the Lake Lugano returns, reflective, calm, powerful, as the visual and emotional anchor of the story.

Sport unfolds everywhere:

on the water and along the shore,
in the forest and against rock faces,
in urban spaces and small villages,
indoors and outdoors, structured and spontaneous.

Rather than isolating disciplines, the film connects them.

Lake, mountain, city and movement blend into a continuous rhythm: showing how easily Lugano allows sport to exist side by side with daily life.

This Director’s Cut doesn’t aim to catalogue activities. It captures the feeling of training, focus and repetition, the dialogue between body and landscape, the balance between effort and calm. The lake reflects not only the mountains, but the city’s sporting soul.
