Through celebrations, protests, everyday gestures, and images from the past, the film traces the transformation of an industrial city to a tourist destination, from a square of struggle to a stage of spectacle. Confronted with this transformation, the author returns to the square of his childhood and questions collective memory: Who builds it? What is forgotten? What is left outside the frame? A filmic document that intertwines archival material, observation, and a personal voice to explore the fractures between official history and family memory. A film about mourning, representation, and the longing to belong.
