"The best Virzì has returned" - L'ESPRESSO
PLOT: In an isolated Tuscany valley, Adriano, a 50-year-old man haunted by a troubled past, lives alone in the renovated stables of a crumbling villa. Suddenly, a group of young idealists, led by Matilde, take over the empty villa, hoping to restore its long-abandoned vineyards. Though initially annoyed, Adriano gradually finds himself drawn to this lively community. But beneath the surface of this fragile harmony, old tensions and buried secrets begin to resurface. What is the heavy burden Adriano is trying so hard to conceal, and why does the manor awaken his darkest memories?
