Silvestro Maccariello

Daniel and Samuel are two brothers: one is European, the other is Cuban, the first now a man, the second just a boy. They share the same father, a man who fled Germany, the collective memory of Nazism, during the Years of Lead. Reinhold Stockburger has lived for many years in Cuba, an island from which he has never returned. Three generations face stormy family ties and a fundamental passage of life: death.

An upside-down world where women are in power and men look after the family. Domenico retells his story to his daughter starting with a tender memory. In a letter he re-lives the joys of her birth, her childhood, the dreams of a happy family, but also of the painful sacrifices of a father and husband, sacrifices that suffocated his real aspirations and desires.
