This documentary deals with the green line in Cyprus. This line is a construction of isolation and lack of freedom that was spread from the one side of the country to the other after the Turkish invasion and still remains there as a symbol of violence. The documentary comments on the effect of the green line on the collective memory and the communication of the present with the past.
