A Story of a Nation (2022)

Synopsis

“A Story of a Nation” is a notebook-movie, a graphic-diary-movie, like a life’s log book of sailing a citizenship in a country that could be any other. The problems approached, in raw manners, not polished, but abstractly, are shared by all world: the violent past (?), the distorted values of the present and the future foreseen as apocalyptic. Three parts preceded by the “thrashy” will of revolution and succeeded by the loving memory that remains (the voice that cradled the naive childhood). Conceived like a painting, in the choice of shapes and colors, this movie reflects a way of thinking, with all the contradictions which the nature of the reality embraces. It’s a work filled with symbolism, to be interpreted and felt.
