The Shadow of the Bride

The last moments of life of WW2 soldiers are dissolved in the depth of the Mediterranean Sea, among emotions and thoughts. While sinking inexorably in the fascinating and cruel sea, love echoes in the letters of a husband soldier to his spouse. Today we can still hear those cries arise from the sea. “There’s always a red sea, a living or dead sea that appears in front of all wandering men in search of a home.” Stefano D’Arrigo, Horcynus Orca.
