A documentary fi lm that reflects on the fragmented history of a
community and its cultural survival. Through intimate testimonies,
archival footage, and present-day narratives, the fi lm portrays a sto-
ry of fi ve generations that built and carried traditions yet were often
left without support to continue. It is a protest-like journey: a house
without a roof, a sea without water, a history still incomplete.
