Dawn. Through the mist, morning's early light arises. But a stronger one stands out. It's a wildfire that spreads in the distance. From her home, in the top of the mount, a worried woman faces the flames. But it's not the proximity of danger that troubles her. Inside her house, her daughter sleeps, indifferent to the smoke that enters her room.

A film-poem dedicated to the introspection of a subject that sees himself stuck to his non identity, trying to redefine it through the Seventh Art.
