Armando

Armando utilizes symbols and metaphors to depict strength, focusing on elements like flags and trees in an almost abstract manner. The film reflects the director's fascination with World War II, a pivotal period that shaped her youth. As someone who has lived in Berlin since 1979, the city's history heavily influences the narrative.

The film features documentary images from the war, interspersed with scenes of Armando's paintings and the concepts behind them. It captures the process of constructing a large flag from grey clay and illustrates its significance using authentic visuals. This work serves as a personal and associative portrait, presenting an interpretation of a significant historical period.
