Landscapes of Resistance

Landscapes of Resistance traces a journey through the memories of antifascist fighter Sonja (97), one of the first women Partisans in Yugoslavia, who was also among the leaders of the Resistance movement at Auschwitz. As Sonja speaks, we travel through the landscapes of her revolutionary youth as they exist in the present time – the Serbian forests and mountains and the muddy terrain of Auschwitz – as well as her tiny Belgrade home where she lives with her husband and cat. Since Sonja is a great storyteller, she brings us directly into that peculiar atmosphere and mindset, which gave birth to antifascist resistance. We make her story travel through time towards the bodies of the new generations, bespeaking that it is always possible to think and practice resistance.
