Having grown up in the 1960s and 1970s, Torsten Dodillet belongs to the generation of children who regularly spent their annual holidays with their parents in Italy. Ten days in the same hotel, on the same stretch of beach, at the same time of year. Fifty years later, Dodillet once again travelled to the small seaside resort of Viserbella near Rimini. With a camera and a photographic eye, he begins to retrace memories, places and spaces from back then. They quickly reappear: the little boy, the father walking on the sand by the sea, the mother sunbathing in a deckchair. Dodillet returned many times, but with each visit his gaze became less emotional, more distant. Despite all his memories, he couldn't find his father's green swimming trunks.
