Un uomo torna al suo paese per un funerale: hanno trovato i genitori in una fossa comune. Tornare dopo ventÕanni significa cercare delle risposte. La guerra per non lascia risposte, lascia domande. La casa dalla quale era partito stata vissuta da altri, poi stata abbandonata. Porta sui muri i segni della violenza e del ricordo. Osservandone gli spazi lÕuomo cerca il senso degli eventi.
A man returns to his homeland for a funeral. The bodies of his parents were discovered in a mass grave. Someone who returns home after twenty years is looking for answers. War, however, does not offer answers, it produces questions. The home he had left was lived in by other people and then abandoned. The walls of the house bear signs of violence, of memories. Looking at the rooms, the man searches for the meaning of the events. |
