    • Synopsis
    • Soaked to the skin, Costantino sinks into the haystack
      like old timber left on the shore by a stormy sea.
      Torrential rain has just put out the fire that in a single
      night ravaged Assandira, a farmstay deep in the woods
      of Sardinia. But the rain hasn’t quenched the pain, the
      endless remorse for the son lost to the flames, the son
      he was unable to save.
      The first to arrive are the carabinieri and the young
      investigating magistrate: Costantino tries to tell them
      what happened the previous night, to explain how it
      all began…
