MEMORY IS AN ANIMAL, IT BARKS WITH MANY MOUTHS

Synopsis

In the valleys surrounding the Dolomite Mountains, children reimagine ancient Ladin legends while they examine bodies of water, holes, caves, and passages, looking for something lost or forgotten. Through a poetic choreography, the film becomes a fictional journey creating resonances between the landscape, magical thinking, and Ladin – the protected old Rhaeto-Romanic language of the valleys, a puzzle unfolds as a timeless fable.
