CINEMA E CINEMI
Dialoghi del Lys
by Gianluca De Serio, Massimiliano De Serio
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Duration: 44'
The two images that begin and end the video are still; sometimes this is what happens to memory when it narrates epics of the past: the photograph of a young partisan fighter who was killed and the commemorative plaque to the Resistance. These are emblematic images of the history that is being told: today, the everyday life of the young local people might not be easy but at least it is free. The conversations of the people at the hill are a tribute to the sacrifices of the young men and women who had fought in that area, so that today people can go there just to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and the beauty of nature.
