DESCRIPTION:
This is the tale of hope sprouting in an inhospitable terrain, where time gets entangled in the ruins of a city that turns into a desert in the heat. It's the story of ghosts that no one wants to see, yet they persist, tending to an impossible garden. Together, they cultivate it and watch it thrive, despite everything.
Lukas, Amina, Luce, Attilio, Nina, and Han navigate the streets of Milan. With them is Biz, who speaks in the thoughts of others. They are the battlefield. They won't surrender. And neither will Carla, the teacher who has lost everything but not the stories. Because to build a different world, one must first be capable of imagining it. Beyond the garden and within the breaches.
'We Are the Battlefield' narrates a necessary clash and a possible resistance in a Milan transfigured but still recognizable. It tells the generational clash heightened by the pandemic times—between an increasingly old and conservative power and the youth who, despite everything, survive and still seek viable alternatives.
Yet, 'We Are the Battlefield' is also the passionate and captivating story of a mystery, a crime, and a silent rebellion.
