Sinossi

In a still uncertain phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, FBK and the Ladino Cultural Institute recognized and subsequently realized a shared research and study opportunity regarding the impact of the pandemic phenomenon on the local community, especially during the initial and critical lockdown phase. This insight led to the co-production of Monologues, a documentary that envisions a brief discussion in the Ladino language among four mountain residents, whose testimonies merge into a kind of “multi-voice stream of consciousness,” a “choral monologue” that underscores, on one hand, an apparent visual solitude and, on the other, a tangible collective uniqueness in their spoken words.
