A film that intertwines past and present
The material is not loud but deep. Archival footage, personal memories, and political fault lines create a dense portrait of guilt, resistance, and continuing life in the shadow of historical violence. The film has already been shown internationally at festivals and perceived as a personal, political documentary. ([cineuropa.org](https://cineuropa.org/film/482918?utm_source=openai))
