Directing
The film is a journey through time and space on the trail of the unrecognized Social War, the epochal conflict that saw the Italic cities of the Marsi, Samnites and other "peripheral" peoples oppose the overwhelming power of Rome from 91 to 88 BC. . Against its indiscriminate domination, its yoke, its seldom enlightened centralism.
The film focuses on the authenticity of the statue of the Warrior of Capestrano, symbol of the Abruzzo Region, found in Capestrano in 1934 and dated by archaeologists VI century B.C.
An almost eighty -year -old man works in his workshop where he made ceramic dishes manually and especially whistles in the shape of birds. The "song" of the background of the birds and the images of the isolated village of Castelli, in the Teramo, will bring the viewer in a remote place away from modernity. Man, craftsman, nature, silence.
