Etna

About This Movie

Etna is an intriguing documentary that digs deep into the emotional landscape of memory and the passage of time. Sinna Perho, at 94, brings an authenticity that's palpable; her reflections on a life intertwined with the Sicilian earth and its roses are hauntingly beautiful. The film captures the slow, almost meditative pacing of her day-to-day life, contrasting with the explosive imagery of the volcano, a metaphor for buried memories and emotions. The correspondence with her sibling's grandchild adds a personal touch, weaving together generations. It’s a delicate exploration of heritage, loss, and the quiet strength of a woman who has weathered much. The visuals are simple yet striking, really allowing Sinna’s narrative to breathe.
