From one of the most prominent Italian exponents of the new rural culture, a total immersion in mountain culture told with explosive sentences of great efficiency, mixed with anecdotes, reflexions, stories and characters that are destined to leave a mark.

A magical encounter between two friends who evoke the beauty and profoundness of an ancient world that has disappeared. A world “that used to live off not much, almost nothing at all, that was satisfied with the little it had and almost considered it to be too much”, with no nostalgia, allowing their memories of a magnificent era of women and men to flow freely. This gallery of stories and characters is the starting point for an ethic of good, simple living, without ever becoming moralistic, and with ideas that are always well anchored in a culture of doing and of being down-to-earth that has now been forgotten.
