A Journey to Teulada

Eighty-plus year-old Assunta is stricken by a sudden illness and is rescued by her teenager Syrian neighbor Fatima. The old woman miraculously survives, but on awakening she discovers that, due to a strange twist of fate, her illness has brought back the presence of the men, women and children who populated her past and her native village in Sardinia, scarred by the creation of the largest military proving-ground in Europe which forced her and her people to flee.

“A journey to Teulada” is what Assunta will take at the end of her story. It will be a homecoming journey to track down that part of her that was waiting for her, buried between the hills and the sea of her own land.
