An escape in the night, from Zadar to Trieste, aboard a steamship filled with fear, silence, and hope. It's the story of a boy just over thirteen years old who endures the war alone, amidst bombings, air raids, and the fear of never seeing his family again.

In the second story, we stay on that same borderland with the tale of a family who, without ever moving, found themselves living in four different countries over the course of a century. In Portorož, amidst mingling languages ​​and shifting identities, a home becomes the only fixed point in an ever-changing world.
