Dear Silvano,

When we first met in December, you asked me to come with you. You wanted to return there, to this place you outlived. I’m still there, you said. Alive, alone in the disbelief of existence. We started the journey. You had to survive, again. »

Silvano Lippi was an italian soldier in Greece, in 1943. Held prisoner by the Germans, deported to Mauthausen, assigned to Sonderkommandos.

This film is sent to him, from the return.
