Apulia as the land of forgetfulness. A distracted traveller is swept away in a magical sleep that takes him into a woods where titans and ancient divinities are hiding among the folds of the centuriesold olive trees.
«Orphism is a religious cult that thrived in Apulia in ancient times. In my opinion, it is a kind of heresy on the inside of the socalled Greek wisdom. The film is also an intimate piece of my origins in Apulia." (Angelo Amoroso d'Aragona)
