Synopsis
"The accumulation of images of human and ecological disasters from the former Yugoslavia prompted us to look for evidence of pre-existing essential values, which could not possibly not exist. Records of life as it was. Material for a film which celebrates life over conflict and division. History perceived from a private, intimate point of view, history with a small h, starting from the bottom, from details. The 20s, the 30s, the 40s. A work of analysis, based on formats no longer used, no longer even projectable, to make indestructible the memories preserved in the images we have found: films shot by amateurs, by travellers, by Nazi soldiers in the Balkans".
