Brief Synopsis

A young farmer in the North of Italy practising “more than agriculture”. Inspired by his grandfather, he weaves both present and past into the fabric of the land, perhaps even showing us a way forward. You can hear it in the buzzing of the bees. You taste it in the linseed. You see it in people’s eyes going bonkers in a poppy field in full blossom. So, who does something that nobody else does? He who wants to bring about change.
