Marco Balzano ha la sapienza dei grandi narratori: accorda la scrittura al respiro dei suoi personaggi. Con una voce intima che restituisce vita alla Storia, ritrae la forza di una comunit nell'attimo in cui, aggrappandosi alla rabbia, sceglie di resistere.

The great story of a little village in the South of Tirol during the '40s. The II World War pushed people to choose the "great option" Germany or Italy, loosing anyway their identity. While the war requiring its percentage of men the Italian government approved a decree permitting the construction of the dam which would have submerged the village, leaving no place to come back to and no roots to all the people who had always been living there.

As the author says, this is a story (Trina and Erich's story of resilience) within the Story: fascism, the WWII, and the dam that submerged Curon and Resia.. The bell tower is still there, in the middle of the lake, the only thing left of the old village and its story.
