Wiktoria Szymanska / Denmark, Mexico, Poland, United Kingdom / 2015 / 20 min / Black and white
Italian premiere
Like another Heidi, a little girl goes up to the mountains to grow up with her grandfather. Her life in the meadows and woods - near running streams, cuddling and caring for animals - is imbued with feelings of fear, solitude, and the tension of waiting for something that must conclude. With the end of the war comes the end of her childhood. At the moment of her return to the city, the black-and-white footage gives way to colour, and the child's nostalgia gives way to an appreciation of those years spent with her grandfather. Her return trip is unavoidable, like life.
