Meseret, 2021
Video, 17’00’’


Meseret is the name of my best friend who was born in Ethiopia and was adopted by an Italian family when she was a child.
The film shows the landscape we see in our hikes, when we go deep into the woods and climb rocks. I narrates the story of Meseret’s reconnection with her biological parents, while I try to deal with the narration of a story that is not mine.
The film unfolds in a multi layered tone, which implies the colonial ties between Italy and Ethiopia, as well as the sincere trust of friendship.
