La U di Svanire is the third part of director Augusto Contento's trilogy on contemporary history, following Viaggio nel Crepuscolo and Strade nella Malerba. Using animation, fictional reconstructions, documentary elements, and interviews with international cultural figures, the protagonist, Neva, finds herself internally reliving her past, which took her from her hometown of Kiev, via Siberia and her experience in the gulag, to the turbulent Bologna of the 1970s, to Oregon, where, on the shores of the ocean, she reflects in a film-long flashback on her own epic story and that of the ideals of the Soviet system, betrayed by the imperialist hunger for power in a world that seems to reproduce itself indefinitely, leading to the present day.
