How can one tell a story which is known from hearsay only? A story which was never written down, a story illustrated by hardly any pictures. The story of someones life which ends after twenty years in murder, a story, which survives solely in isolated, partially faded and occasionally retouched memories. The gaps are blank spaces on fragmentary historical maps projection screens for seemingly logical sequels and personal judgments. Andrina Mraçnikar received the story of Andri, her grandmother's brother, as a child like parts of a huge and incomplete mythic puzzle which included Hitler, Jesus and Snow White. Andri, an army deserter who was hunted by the Gestapo and executed as a partisan in November 1944, played the role of the hero. And the partisan songs of the Carinthian Slovenes provided a personal soundtrack.
