Aurora-Héla is a young Italian-Tunisian shepherd with androgynous features. She lives in a mountain pasture at the foot of the Fellaria glacier, which is irreversibly melting. As the construction of a dam threatens her community of shepherds and artists, Aurora is forced to return to her native village to bury her father’s amputated foot. From the Alps to the lunar landscapes of southern Tunisia, her ritual journey weaves symbolic and geological connections between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
