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, protected by the intimacy of wild nature, we go deep into the woods and climb vertiginous rocks. I narrates the story of Meseret’s recent reconnection with her biological parents, and 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 a close friendship.
