Logline
It is 10:12 AM on May 28, 1974: the characters, from the stage of an empty theater, the setting of the story, speak directly to the present day, to those approaching that moment in history, recounting fragments of personal memories, lives that abruptly end at the same moment, in the same place. Tragically. It is always the same minutes that repeat in each person’s different history. These are the minutes before the bomb explodes. The reality of lived experience thus blends with memory. In the end, we always return to 10:12, and the characters leave the technical space to symbolically return to the square. The time of recounting those stories, constantly questioned in the film, surpasses the very time in which their lives were lived.
