In the heart of the Dolomites, where storm Vaia tore down millions of trees and the roots lie overturned like exposed veins, a forest becomes the stage for a visionary experiment. Alessandro Chiolerio, a scientist and alchemist of the future, tries to capture the forest’s secret signals to decipher the language of plants. Beside him, Monica Gagliano, an ecologist inspired by the wisdom of shamans, seeks a deep dialogue with the wounded woods.
Amid new scientific hypotheses, ancient wisdom, and invisible connections waiting to be explored, this film takes us on a fascinating journey towards a new perception and experience of our relationship with nature. It offers a narrative intertwining science, technology, and myth, revealing the forest as a living entity inhabited by a genius loci with whom we must learn to communicate.
