Clara is a retired music critic, a passionate lover, widow and grandmother with lively black hair. She is the last resident of 'Aquarius', an elegant seaside development built in the 1940s, and while her neighbours have already sold their flats to a determined private property developer planning to erect luxury flats, Clara refuses to leave her home. The enterprise doggedly tries to convince her, but Clara's resolve to stand up to the goliath hardens every day.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
