The Red Valley
Esch-sur-Alzette, 1910. A young Italian arrives looking for his missing brother. A mining register says he is already dead. The valley offers no easy answers.
Nicola has crossed Europe expecting an address and an explanation for his brother’s silence. Instead, a clerk gives him a date of death and a record that raises more questions than it answers.
Set in the iron-mining borderlands of Luxembourg and northern France, The Red Valley follows a search for family into a world shaped by migrant labour, industrial power and divided loyalties.
