A forgotten historic page from the 20th century; a page on Italian concentration camps and on inhabitants from Slovenian and Croatian villages who were interned, thousands of them died of starvation. The documentary tells the unpublished story of a group of children who survived one of those camps.

The War of the Words or the Respectful Silence? is a commissioned film made for an educational program in schools. Through this program, children rediscover their own history, the history of their territory and apply this knowledge to the future.

In a border village clad in endless shades of autumn leaves, solitary lives are emerging where reality and imagination meet, seeking redemption that perhaps is only attainable together. Miren is one of the contemporary globalised outlands that the capitals are finding increasingly difficult to comprehend.

In her autumn years, a woman reminisces about the fateful year of 1947, when the newly drawn border between Italy and Yugoslavia cut through the region of Gorizia; this was also the year when she found love. Hers is a peculiar tale with a tinge of the surreal, as well as a family drama shaped by real events.
