This is a small village on the island of Calabria, nestled between mountains and sea, where from the foothills, you can see the distant Ionian Sea. It is a place where time seems to have stopped, where the stones have the power to change the course of events, and the goats pause to ponder the origins of the sky. There lives an old shepherd, whose days are numbered, and who is ill. He firmly believes he has found the elixir of life, collecting dust from the church floor and drinking it every night with water. In a small patch of black earth in a sheepfold, a goat gives birth to a little white goat. The initial discomfort of life lasts only a short while; its eyes immediately open, and its hooves can already support its weight. The entire village is filled with hope at the arrival of this new life. The lamb gradually grows stronger and begins to play. Once, in a moment of negligence, it strayed away from the rest of the resting flock, losing its way in the thick vegetation until exhausted, it pauses under a majestic cedar tree. This giant tree sways with the gentle breeze of the mountains. Time passes, and seasons change rapidly. The great cedar loses the sound of its swaying branches, replaced by a mechanical roar. The cedar falls to the ground, it is cut down and dismembered; its white wood is transformed into charcoal using ancient local techniques. The last time we see it is as it fades away with the smoke and dust... The poetic language of the film tells of the connection between life and nature, interpreting a forgotten eternal place and revealing the essence of harmony. This is a science fiction film that uses no special effects, immersing viewers in an unknown fantastical world, telling a wonderful story woven from four overlapping lives.
