Kobarid tells the war, the defeat, the failure of power politics, the massacre of soldiers and civilians, and it does so by listening to the voice of the mountains, the forests, the trenches, to the multitude of anonymous soldiers who, in a battle for survival, never lose their humanity, but on the contrary rediscover, in the no man’s land between life and death, the sense of brotherhood that the warmongering Nazi delirium had swept away. Kobarid is the voice of the nameless and of the voiceless, of the simple soldiers left to face the everyday event of death. Kobarid is a hymn to life, coral, tragic, poetic, in a time of war. The voice of Kobarid is the voice of the many ongoing wars, it is the underground river that by disappearing resists the desertification of war, its tabula rasa. The voice of Kobarid tells us that every new beginning originates in defeat.
