Back

A very special day when Bianca and Aldo, exiles from Istria, decide to go back to the house they had to leave in 1947 when Istria became Yugoslavia. They have been able to forgive the faults of history and meet their land once more. Going back means recovering their memory which does not lie in that bunch of houses on the top of the hill any longer. Everything there is dead and gone. Flashes of memory appear in the air and scents of a magic uncontaminated nature which still surrounds those cracked walls. But those feelings and visions are impossible to pass down. “It is a memory, that of old time Istria, bound to survive, in the soul of those who do not live there just for the fleeting moment of only one generation, the last remained“(E.Scalfari).
