Documentary dedicated to art historian and curator Igor Zabel (1958 – 2005) and centred on his work in the field of contemporary art from the end of the 1970s until his death. The film leads us through this fractured time at the intersection of 20th and 21st centuries, through (post)modern and contemporary art, local and international art communities, socialism and capitalism, East and West, as Zabel confronts change, conflict, and the endless possibilities of the new.

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.
