In Lignan, a small village in the Saint-Barthelemy valley in Valle D'Aosta, an observatory scrutinises the skies every night. Like a belltower or lighthouse, the great telescope marks the pace of time in the small mountain community. In autumn, the astrophysicist Paolo Calcidese moves into the building as the sole custodian and inhabitant to carry out his scientific research and experiment with new technology. However, as the result of a technical accident, he will be obliged to set aside the stars and his solitude to turn his attention to other forms of life not considered until then: human beings.
