The conversations centre around the ‘deep story’: the reality as they experienced it back then, as children. Against a backdrop of real danger and profound change, ten millennials have to forge a completely new reality by embracing contradictions, confrontations and moral complexity. They show us the way towards living an intense life: driven by the will to fight for each other, with lots of love and care.
The project covers the murder of Sicilian anti-mafia judge Giovani Falcone on Sicily, the Northern-Ireland conflict, the ‘Children of the Decree’ of Ceausescu in Romania and the Unification in East-Germany as seen from the East.
