Our American Days

The story

Through interviews and archival images, the film talks about life in Trieste during the years of the Allied Military Administration (1945-1954). The faces and stories of the children who played baseball in the suburban markets at the time and the girls who found jobs with their moderate knowledge of English. In the background, American flags fly and Studebaker cars drive through the city. These are the voices from the time of black and white Trieste, which was suddenly flooded by the colors of America and swing after the war.
