Gorizia, a city on the border, that had been shared by many communities for centuries, had been finally divided by second world war. Scenes from everyday life during the war, as they were imprinted in children's memory, speak of the absurdity of all wars and the horrific devastation that imaginary opostitions leave on the real ground. They also talk about many who defended the helpless, even though they found themselves on the opposite side of the war. The memories of children and young people illuminate the backstage of the history, which was already carefully documented and directed at the time, and give a hint of the endless space of oblivion we are entering.

“Human in Arabic means "one who forgets." Perhaps that's why we've always strived to preserve memory—carving it in stone, writing it in books and capturing it on film. In doing so, an endless poem is unfolding, one that, from the first spoken word, tells the story of humanity's oblivion.”
