In an isolated Tuscany valley, Adriano, a 50-year-old man haunted by a troubled past, lives alone in the renovated stables of a crumbling villa.

Though initially annoyed, Adriano gradually finds himself drawn to this lively community. But beneath the surface of this fragile harmony, old tensions and buried secrets begin to resurface. What is the heavy burden Adriano is trying so hard to conceal, and why does the manor awaken his darkest memories?
