Love in times of dictatorships or 11-11 Memories Retold 2.0. A pigeon creates a connection between a man who was imprisoned in Albania a long time ago, and his grandson, who makes it his daily routine to leaf through his grandfather’s prison diary.
Starting from the tragic love story of his own grandparents, A PIGEON’S SONG takes the audience on a journey into the past and discusses at the same time the fragility of our memory. Fiction and reality begin to blur. While following unstable memories and getting lost in entangled narratives, the film provokes us to ask how remembering concretely works and how stories are constructed and reproduced.
