During an arid spring in southern Sardinia, a solitary man, Renato, carves out a tunnel under an old abandoned mining site. This marks the beginning of an unusual journey into the depths of his land, in search of his origins, interpreting the signs that the wear and tear of time and the erosion of water have left, while nature reclaims its spaces, creating increasingly inaccessible and surreal scenarios.
