The discovery of a photo taken at the end of the 1930s is the starting point as we travel through Clara’s past. While her memory becomes ever more frail, her young granddaughter attempts to reconstruct her youth in fascist Italy with the help of images that ignite the memory of a relentless film buff. Using vintage footage, the film explores coming of age in an era dominated by great turmoil. An era in which cinema and propaganda influenced the identity of an entire generation.
