Erto, the only village to survive the Vajont tragedy, is now almost completely abandoned. To salvage it from oblivion, the Mayor together with the art curator Gianluca D’Incà Levis, would like to transform the dam into a permanent work of art. The community is divided, many of the citizens are outraged, angry and argue, torn between the need to preserve their memory and the risk of getting lost in an attempt to revive. Some of them begin to dream of their ancestors, Slovenian convicts brought there by the soldiers of the Serenissima, who had caused suspicion and fear among the locals, but also brought an opportunity for progress. Those men and women who are now dividing and discussing for the construction of the dam artwork, are one more time like their ancestors, reluctant and lost in the attempt to survive, and perpetual exiles in a place of abandon.
