Trailer Synopsis Cast

The ten minutes short film takes its inspiration from a real letter (from the collection “Lettere di condannati a morte della Resistenza italiana”) written during World War II’s Nazi-Fascist regime by Romolo Iacopini, a captured and life sentenced partisan by the German SS squadrons, to his mother Maria. Protagonist of the film, the woman in the fictional story takes on the task entrusted by the son in the heartfelt real letter: collecting the man’s wallet, held at a police department, and watch, left to a priest. Shaken by her loss, the woman is now deprived of the thing she holds most dear, but slowly realises it is somehow still living...
