Alberico Bartoccini

June, 2, 2021. A man walks into the woods with his camera. Between one shot and the next, he realizes that, hidden in the mountains, there's something odd. Something he'd never seen before.

Suburbs of Rome (Italy), Summer of 1993. On top of a wide valley, a group of four kids has built a small shelter in which they spend the afternoons after schooltime. On one of those summer afternoons, the kids take their bikes and go for a journey through the paths of Tolfa and Allumiere. Suddenly, they discover a beautiful medieval farmstead. They don't know it yet, but what they'll find in it will change their lives forever.

Two parallel lives unfold across intersecting timelines, confronting one another in a journey that questions whether sacrifice, integrity, and mental well-being are prices worth paying for the pursuit of popularity.
