The relationship between a boy and his warder: loneliness, unspoken conflicts, silence. Suddenly the boy gets sick: the man accompanies him until death, rejoining, in one gesture, with him and the earth.

"With this work we have concentrated our efforts more on the formal aspect than the narrative one: we tried almost completely to eliminate the dialogues and to lighten up the dramatic needs. Narration proceeds through a series of emotions caused by images, sounds, music" (M. De Angelis, A. Di Trapani).
