Synopsis

Our take

The earthquake that shook the Italian town of Abruzzi is the backdrop for this collaborative experimental documentary. By filming images of the destroyed city, and by inviting inhabitants to read certain texts and speak of their experiences, the film prompts the resurgence of a community.
