All her life Alma runs away from painful memories, from people, and from herself. But her father's death forces her to return to Trieste for three short days — the city of her childhood and youth. He left her a comment, a postscript, something more than just an inheritance. On this journey, Alma recalls an eclectic mosaic of her past: her grandparents — intellectuals, bearers of Austro-Hungarian culture; her mother, who helped the mentally ill together with the reformer Franco Basaglia; her father, belonging to the inner circle of Marshal Tito; and Vili, the son of Serbian family friends. Alma fears most the meeting with him — her former friend, lover, and now enemy. But the encounter with Vili is inevitable: he will deliver her father's farewell message. Federica Manzon skillfully explores themes of identity, memory, and history against the painful transition from a unified Yugoslavia to the formation of the Serbian and Croatian republics. Trieste, with its unique atmosphere as a border city, becomes a starting point for reflections on how to piece together the fragmented parts of the soul and find one's way home.
