An Italian fascist soldier and an Eritrean boy fell in love in secret in 1941, in the Italian East African colonies, defying all the rules. Their story came to light thanks to a letter intercepted by the postal police and recently rediscovered in the archives. Let’s try to imagine them: two young men making love in secret, shedding their military uniforms, with desert dust clinging to their skin, the fear of being imprisoned, and an overwhelming desire that cannot be stopped.
