Abbecedario per il mondo nuovo – Betulla
Betulla by Michele Ruol, with Lorenzo Frediani.
Podcast online on Spreaker from Saturday 17 April 2021
Life, death, pain, the passage of time: as human beings, we ask questions that we often find hard to answer. A birch tree (betulla, TN) may not have the answers, but perhaps it has another point of view. Michele Ruol
Synopsis
There is a provincial town, a man, a mother who falls ill. And then the distance, the loneliness, the lack: all things that in some way unfortunately we are experiencing. A provincial town, a man, a mother: everything is very common, apart from the trees.
