Step into an infinite world of stories
Fiction
In Europe after World War II, amid a landscape of rubble, skeletal figures and almost absolute social and psychological helplessness, a girl and a man wander among the ruins.
Hanna, a 12-year-old girl with Down's Syndrome, is looking for her father. Marius, her companion, seems to be hiding from something. Aided by a simple instruction card, Hanna launches into the exploration of what a human being is, as Tavares creates an abstract yet touching portrait of the true victims of war.
