Synopsis

Forgotten events linger in a region where time and space shift. These events, shaped by local narratives, hold significance despite their lack of formal recognition. As the surroundings change, questions arise about the fate of these memories. The 27-minute film "Abduction 2," released in 2018, addresses whether individuals can record and preserve these fading stories before they vanish entirely.
