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?

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
The film begins mysteriously and gradually reveals its dramatic story. Then comes a heated yet comical clash and a conclusion infused with a feeling of trust. A film about death and about life; and how suffering can generate tenderness and protection. Adriano appears to stubbornly seek out solitude, but that will be upset by the arrival of a sort of commune of young adults. One of them is a pregnant Matilde, who seems barely to care about who the father is. The question of that father, and paternity, sparks a duel between Adriano and Matilde, but their antagonism morphs into an alliance that protects her and rejuvenates him. The nature around them resembles us: an overgrown vineyard which, when tended to, produces a wine that induces euphoria.
