A story about the sense of responsibility, the power of secrets, the force of friendship and the importance of the past in understanding who we really are.
A little-known episode of the Second World War, a difficult page in history that features Trieste and Istria during the war and post-war period, amid ethnic and political conflicts in a complex international setting.
As a little girl, Francesca witnessed something very much beyond her. Something connected with her grandmother and her friends, whom she pretends to have forgotten. Francesca has never known what her role is in their lives, their friendship and their promises of redemption with regard to a war that extinguished every dream. The time has now come, however, to discover it, because somebody has called on her to remember – an old man on his deathbed said that only she, Francesca, knows the truth. And the history that seemed so distant is now only a step away.
