La misura del confine directed by Andrea Papini (Italy, 2011)
With the participation of the director Andrea Papini, the actor Thierry Toscan and the duo Musica Nuda (Petra Magoni and Ferruccio Spinetti).

A Swiss and an Italian topographer are summoned by the local government of a small Alpine town to re-establish the borders between the two countries which have been lost, as well as to define the ownership of a mummy that came out from ice. This way, the mayor of the little Italian town hopes to relaunch the tourism of the area, which is their only source of support. But the detailed surveys that the two topographers carry out also reveal an homicide of the post-war period and the related secret. An independent and charming film almost completely shot in the mountains and accompanied by a soundtrack expressly composed by the duo Musica Nuda (made up of double bass and voice alone).
