A film about the life of Italian minority in former Yugoslavia, through the destiny of Završje (Piemonte), an almost completely abandoned and ruined town in Istria.

Gigi was among the rare ones who stayed in the town when Tito`s Yugoslavia demanded that the Italian minority choose between their two homelands. Today, some 50 years later, he is still the only “citizen” of the abandoned town. Film was awarded with Documentario Oggi Prize at Padua Film Festival.
