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.

Animation inspired by the poem “The Infinite” by Giacomo Leopardi.

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.

My cheeks brush against the stones, I look out from a break in the wall.

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

While the pig is being dragged out from the sty he has the chance to see the sky...

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