Asmara – capital of the East African nation of Eritrea – is recognized as an architectural gem. In this film, Asmarinos from different walks of life guide us through the streets of their city: As they introduce us to places that are meaningful to them and tell us about “their” Asmara, each person positions their own memories in public spaces, investing the urban environment with personal meanings. Their stories – a chorus of experiences embodying the nation – bring the country's history, from colonialism to independence, to life.
