La casa in collina
Summer 1943. The war rages on. Corrado, a professor from Turin, takes refuge in the hills where he rediscovers an old love, Cate, and perhaps a son, Dino. The setting is a long strip of land, a threshold between refuge and trap, memory and ruin. Time expands and contracts as in a lucid dream while Pavese tells us the story of a long illusion, questioning us about responsibility, doubt and the possibility of leaving something behind even if everything around us is burning once again.
‘From the window of the orchard, I would still have seen the morning.’ (The House on the Hill, Cesare Pavese)
