🎬 Movie

The children of the flood, now elderly, return to the banks of the Po River seventy years later. Their fragile, vivid memories intertwine with pristine archival footage from the Istituto Luce. Black-and-white scenes unfold: a panicked exodus of families, livestock, and belongings piled onto carts as stagnant water swallows homes and farmland for months. The film transcends mere historical account, weaving a tapestry of collective trauma. It becomes a meditation on how disaster etches itself into a generation's psyche and how the memory of deluge continues to shape the physical and emotional landscape of the Polesine.
