Dora Ciccone

In the mid-20th century, in a forested valley between Italy and Yugoslavia, a stingy widower befriends a young woman and helps her depart across the ocean to find there a better life. A chance encounter gives rise to a dreamy parable on loss, loneliness and the power of imagination.

A fleeting memory of an old woman looking back at her youth brings about a moment of elegance in times of the after-war misery.
