- San Gottardo is first and foremost a film about emigration, the exodus brought about by the construction of the two tunnels - the railway tunnel (1872-1882) and the road tunnel (1969-1976). People migrated from one country to another, from one civilization to another, and different social mores and customs were confronted with one another. The film takes place between the unveiling of two monuments: it begins with the unveiling of the monument dedicated to the tunnel workers in Airolo, and it ends with the unveiling of the Escher monument on the Zurich Bahnhofstrasse. In between the two unveiling, the film depicts the essence of that which lay behind the veiling cloth.

Their existence is a sort of permanent limbo between these cities, always on the move without ever arriving. Arrival at their destination merely signals the start of the next trip. Cities are reduced to stations, places of restlessness and constant motion, whose raison d'etre is to justify the sense of going somewhere and being nowhere. Three lives lived somewhere between three cities.
