Aristocratic, the lady chair has seen many things in her life and has been moved several times. From the living room to the switchboard, from the Italian wet cellar to the Berlin apartment. Every time she is a silent witness to the great History that she sees through the window panes and which often disturbs her. The same happens to her in her little story: prisoner of a gender that does not belong to her by birth - chair in German is a masculine word. Times change, like the people around, relationships with the rest of the furniture are sometimes a little stormy, but with the wisdom of old age, everything smooths out and even the final disappointment of having only dreamed seems like a fortune to her. The luck of having been able to be alive, among the lives of others.
From a very particular point of observation, while the words trace a reflection on identity and how to exist in the world, the images tell the great history of the 20th century between Italy and Germany, from the advent of fascism to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
