Julia Gromskaya

In Russian director Julia Gromskaya's cyclical tale, a wild boar touches off a torrent of memories and dreams in a young girl awaiting the return of her lover.

Three different epochs through the gaze of three children: Zelinda, who loses her mother to the Spanish Flu during World War I and sees the specter of Nazism loom; Assunta, who lives during the Nazi occupation between bombings, raids, and executions; Icaro, who abandons the countryside during the Years of Lead (“Anni di Piombo”) and accepts a new life. A story across the difficulties and the troubles of the 20th century between memories, affection, nostalgia, and gratitude.

Giada is an autistic child; the meeting with a little donkey will give her the smile, the colour

The young girl and the lizard, the snow and the memory.

The crossroad of azure dreams, the meeting place of the pure and limpid soul.

Every expectant mother dreams of a bright future for the child she is carrying. As in anticipation, a shooting star falls from a night sky, tracing the dreams of mothers and fathers alike.
