In a small town in the Emilian Apennines, the young and devoted Antimo spends an insignificant life between the parish, the modest meetings with his girlfriend and the stable where he works listlessly with his father. One day he meets Lazzaro, a simple and wild boy who works in the nearby stable. Antimo sees a spark in Lazarus and decides to convert him. The religion he teaches him is a personal reading of Christianity, which drags the two on unexplored paths.
