Armando uses flags and trees as abstract symbols of strength, shaped by his life in Berlin since 1979 and his fascination with World War II, a period that determined his youth. Documentary war footage accompanies the camera's exploration of his painted landscapes and the ideas behind them. The film records the making of a huge grey-clay flag and shows its function through authentic images, presenting an associative, personal, yet aloof portrait of an engaged artist interpreting the past.
