It’s dawn. A person, a loner, maybe a fugitive, is sitting in a fallow field. It seems like she’s waiting for something. Suddenly she’s attracted by a glow, a reflection on a clump of grass. She closes her eyes, her hand falls from her knee, she moves her leg to stand up, pressing the ground with her heel.
The journey begins. In the short trip that separates her from the point where she glimpsed something, an atlas of gestures and expressions accompanies her movement: from dawn to sunset, each gesture is transmitted to the next, each passage finds different details of the infinite in the field of grass, revealing humanity in dialogue with nature, where the human quality of gesture regenerates by listening to weeds, the earth, each discovering the other. Shot in Florence, in Quartiere 4 / Legnaia - Isolotto.
