About This Movie

The documentary unfolds at a reflective pace, inviting viewers to share in Lina’s journey through memory and history. It’s not just an exploration of identity, but also a meditation on how we cope with family legacies, especially when they are shrouded in silence.

The stark contrasts between Italian and Eritrean cultures are beautifully interwoven, making it distinct in its approach to personal narrative and historical context.
