One test, two tests: one theoretical, the other self. Questions, so many absurd questions. The voltage of your own, the impatience of the response. It seems that your life depends on quell'esito, it seems that at the time you play everything, if you're good to go downtown, you have a POST .
Everything revolves around it, everything depends on it and there is so much apprehension in the room (packed with boys and girls, the young hopeful) that this response - suitable or unsuitable - almost takes the form of a sentence, a verdict: dead or alive?
Domenico - fifteen accustomed to country life - make it, it is now safe, a permanent place in Milan means no more hardship or sacrifice, fortune smiles and real life is about to begin. But enough on the first day to notice a thing, indeed, of many things: 
The director looks at him down, grabbing his colleague's the best place, all run, they all seem alienated, distant, sucked into a fast-paced world, mechanics. many men and women, once you step in and clock in, turn into something different, take a different form, take on a different epithet: employees, and all, from building that houses them, seems suddenly surrounded by an air cooler, detached and sterile.
Domenico, accustomed to simple values, the quiet rhythms of rural life, is displaced and confused in front of that cold and chaotic goings industry. It almost seems that there is no contact between those people, as if that place had created insurmountable distance between them, and, in the cold of those areas, any form of relationship, body heat is lost to sempre.Ecco because, while industrialization running madly forward carrying with it the ice age and burdened with Milan-working, stand out and shine in that gray, the game looks sweet and the race hand in hand through traffic and beds of Domenico and Magali, can bring back the polar temperatures to human city.
While telling time, that the economic boom, "The place" is a film that speaks a modern language, that never goes out of fashion because they always present: that of work. I will say more, Olmi's film is more sincere, true, and today someone else's far more recent, because it describes with great simplicity and realism, the surprise and dismay of a young provincial - accustomed to a type of work, a kind and a conception of life, relationships between women, ways of thinking, old, anchored to the traditions of an Italy pre-modern mainly of peasant - was catapulted into the mechanics unleashed and industrialization. We are now in the XXI century also, something has changed in Milan olmiana? How much difference is there between those early employees and those of today? None. Domenico, through her eyes dreamy and naive, you witness firsthand a historic change that will create a different man: alien, swallowed, absorbed, slave almost as much at the mercy of the workplace.
showing the sweet moments of boyish enthusiasm between the protagonist and his partner, Olmi can create a detachment, a paradox, an oxymoron I would say, that in itself has all the leitmotiv: whooping and glacial city opposed to that first love tender. The final look of Dominic, but still stunned and bewildered, he already knows he will have to struggle hard to survive in that "place" .
