A Dark Line Upstairs

Until 12 July, 7.30 pm

12 July 2:30pm In Italian (no subtitles)

 

Two stories are intertwined: a flood in rural Italy in 1951 and a young woman dealing with the umpteenth move in 2021. What does it mean to lose something.? When water suddenly floods your house - and you have to run without being able to chose what to take with you - or when you chose to leave and take everything with you, just because you can - is it the same? What does re-building your life means, in 1951 or in 2021?

The 1951 flood in Italy was the first natural disaster with a national TV coverage - just after the end of WWII. Many Italian people will remember that, but every audience has its own "flood" - a literal one, being natural catastrophes more and more common nowadays, or a metaphorical one.

Speaking a story can be an act of letting in light.
