In his tower-block apartment in New Lodge, Joe reenacts memories from his childhood amidst the “Troubles“. In this Catholic area of Belfast, the number of deaths was tragically significant. Joe is joined by neighbours Jolene, Sean, Angie, and others, all willingly participating in this process of revisiting the collective memories that shaped their lives and the district they live in.
Alessandra Celesia was born in Italy and lives between Paris and Belfast. After studying literature and theatre, she starts a career in performing arts. She makes her first film, Luntano, in 2006. Since then, she has directed several films including The Bookseller of Belfast (2011, ARTE, Visions du Réel, Best Film and Audience awards at Festival dei Popoli), Italian Mirage (Cinéma du Réel 2013), Anatomia del miracolo (Locarno 2017), and The Mechanics of Things (ARTE/ZDF, Torino IFF 2023).
