An old shepherd lives his last days in a quiet medieval village perched high on the hills of Calabria, at the southernmost tip of Italy. He herds goats under skies that most villagers have deserted long ago. He is sick, and believes to find his medicine in the dust he collects on the church floor, which he drinks in his water every day.

Quiet, contemplative cinema — the kind where silence says more than dialogue. The director trusts the viewer and doesn't explain everything. That's rare.
The slow rhythm may tire those waiting for events. But for those willing to sink in, the film pulls hard. It's cinema for a second viewing.
Good for thoughtful solo viewing. Not for a group that wants background noise.
Director: Michelangelo Frammartino
