The Roof

1h 1m Documentary 2006

It is a poetic film that describes the journey of a man about to return to his family and country of origin. Despite the long-standing and distinctive political background, the message is universal, thanks to how the director examines the social context of his story through the lyrical representation of the human capacity to imagine and create worlds that pass through time and space. During the film, it turns out that home is not just a place but also a feeling. Even if it is destroyed by bombs, the inhabitants will take it with them wherever they go, unable to leave behind something integral to their self-concept.
