| Title | Kuda ty menja ne vzjala |
| Description | In 1965, a young couple leave their eight-month-old daughter in the Borghese Gardens in Rome and disappear. A few days later, the parents’ bodies are found in the Tiber, while the child begins a new life with an adoptive family. Decades later, that little girl is the acclaimed Italian poet Maria Grazia Calandrone. In 2021, she returns to the story of her parents and tries to reconstruct the circumstances that led to their final decision. Her search centres on her mother Lucia, who grew up in southern Italy in a society where a woman’s fate was largely shaped by family and social expectations. Calandrone works with documents and testimonies, and every new fact changes the image of the woman her daughter never had the chance to know. The investigation becomes a way of approaching another person’s life without any certainty that it can ever be fully understood. The story of one family reveals the harshness of postwar Italian society and the price a person may pay for trying to escape an assigned role. |
