Who are we? Is it really us, or we are something that somebody has decided us to be? And who has decided on our behalf?
The film "Ardia" is dedicated to all those that suffer in silence for being different, to all those that are destroyed for being loyal to their own conscience, to all those for whom our way of live is incomprehensible and strange.
