In one single night, in October 2018, rain and wind tore down 14 million trees, transforming a lush mountain landscape in northern Italy into an apocalyptic ground, with environmental consequences that will affect life in the area for decades to come. In Carnia, one of the worst hit areas, 400 of those trunks were retrieved, and from there travelled to Syracuse, at the opposite end of Italy, where on the Greek theatre stage they gained a last role, as mute witnesses of both tragedies.
The film tells their journey as if through their own eyes, along 1500 Km and across a variety of landscapes, colors and sounds.
