At the heart of the film is Antonello’s personal story, his stubborn determination to remain firmly attached to his homeland despite the challenges of everyday life. However, the incivility, boredom, social depression, and his love for Nina ultimately push him to leave in search of something new and of a place where “people still look at the sky.” The narrative begins with his last day in his hometown, amid farewells to friends, memories of his life, and the account of the past forty years in Irpinia.
