⸺ Synopsis
In 2025, Gorizia and Nova Gorica are, together, the European Capital of Culture. It’s a way to reunite what a border once divided. Alessandro is a historian who studies recent history and has set up a series of museums along the city’s border, often collaborating with associations of young Slovenians. Nadja, a Slovenian filmmaker, searches for the stories of border residents to preserve their memory. Along the cycling paths of the new cross-border Isonzo–Soča park, many farmers have their fields along and across the border line. Boštjan lives in Solkan and cultivates the “rosa di Gorizia,” a local radicchio that resembles a newly blossomed flower, in his fields in Italy near the border. Marinko, a truck driver who used to transport goods across the border, has restored some abandoned vineyards and now produces natural wines. So has Janko, whose family has lived for generations on the hills overlooking the two cities — once divided, now reunited by an invisible border.
