This is a small village on the island of Calabria, surrounded by mountains and sea, from the foothills, you can see the Ionian Sea in the distance . It's a place where time seems to stand still, where the stones have the power to change events and the goats stop to think about the origin of the sky.
Here lived an old shepherd who had not lived long. He was ill. He was convinced that he had found a cure for his life. He collected dust from the church floor and drank water every night.
On a small black field in a sheepfold, a goat gave birth to a baby white goat, the first discomfort of life lasted only a short time, its eyes opened immediately, and its hooves could already support body weight. The life of the whole village is filled with hope by the arrival of this new life. The lamb is growing, it gets stronger, and it starts to play.
In an oversight, it left the resting flock alone, lost its way in the thick vegetation, until exhausted, resting under a majestic fir tree.
The huge tree swayed with the mountain breeze. As time passed and the seasons changed rapidly, this huge cedar tree lost the sound of the swaying branches and leaves, replaced by the roar of machinery.
The fir tree fell to the ground, he was cut down and dismembered, and its white wood was transformed into charcoal using ancient local techniques. The last time we saw it, it faded with smoke and dust.
The poetic language of the film speaks of the connection between life and nature, an interpretation of a forgotten eternal place that reveals the true meaning of harmony. This is a sci-fi film that uses no special effects at all. It takes people into an unknown fantasy world and tells a wonderful story of four lives overlapping each other.
