2022, Italian. Directed by SANTABELVA & Gianvito Cofano & Saverio Cappiello & Nikola Lorenzin & Henry Albert.
March 2020. In a remote farmhouse, the life and story of a former black terrorist serving a life sentence intertwine with those of other people: a horse trainer, a father who finds his daughters after many years, a film crew from another generation, and the owner of the farmhouse.
