Le dossier de Mari S.
“Budapest, November 2014. I've managed to obtain the secret file on Mari S from the state archives. What I've received is the totality of the reports collected by the Ministry of the Interior of the Popular Republic of Hungary. The Munka File, or Work File, covers the period from 1954 to 1989. The file of Mari S was closed in 1989. If the wall had fallen a year later, or if I had been born a year earlier, perhaps I would figure in the file too.”
A few years after the Revolution of 56, Mari S and her two children escape from their country, Hungary, to join the rest of the family in Italy. Long after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Mari S is diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Reading pages from the archives of the Soviet regime, her niece tries to reconstruct her aunt's lost memories.
