Part fable, part documentary, part film poem, the latest exquisite feature by Pietro Marcello (La bocca del lupo) pays homage to a humble shepherd who became a symbol of hope and generosity for a struggling and conflicted Italy.

Italian auteur Pietro Marcello fuses documentary and fantastical fiction in this tribute to a humble, real-life Campanian shepherd who became a symbol of hope and generosity in a country plagued by endemic corruption and economic breakdown.
