The Moon Beneath the Water

Poetic Documentary  | 2023 | 1h 39 min

Ten years in the life of Erto, a town devastated by the Vajont dam flood, which invented for itself a unique form of resistance. A contemplation from the point of view of nature and a reflection on the difficulties of maintaining a solid identity when an entire world crumbles.
