Accademia di Belle Arti di Bari

Amid the noise of a crowded park, a deaf boy notices a red-haired girl reading alone and decides to approach her using Italian Sign Language (LIS).

A boy leaves home holding a toy airplane. As he travels across Bari by bus, he reaches Parco Perotti, where the memorial for Tuninter Flight 1153 stands — the 2005 air disaster off the Sicilian coast near Capo Gallo that claimed 16 lives and forever marked the 23 survivors.

In a dark room, a man in his sixties sits before a table laid out with food. The food slowly brings fragments of his past back to the surface.
