- A happy and enchanted landscape, a doll snatched away from a little girl and thrown into the fire. This surprising cinematic encounter traces the life of Cristina Bernhard, born in 1939 into a modest family of farmers and cattle breeders. Her fairytale childhood surrounded by mountains and lush meadows is abruptly interrupted by the death of her mother. The arrival of her stepmother will change her life forever. Mistreatment and violence will force her to leave her village at a very young age and to achieve happiness far away from her beloved mountains. Combining fairy tale and documentary, this unique film is an opportunity to get closer to childhood and unknown existential and emotional territories; the meeting with Cristina and her diary is an invitation to discover irony and forgiveness as a cure for one's suffering.
- Libya, west coast. Binta and Abdul are held hostage by a trafficker who prevents them from continuing their journey to Europe. They have been sold, passed from hand to hand, reduced to bodies without identities. In a twist of fate, their executioners are swallowed up by a moonless night, leaving them alone.
- Peppe retraces the memories that connect him to the last strip of land where Europe ends, to the house overlooking the cliffs where he grew up, and to the Sicily of his birth. The fainted image of his family and the last moments of his carefree childhood, resurface in his mind. The friends he had to abandon too soon; his grandfather who tirelessly recounted stories of the sea; an unfulfilled father; and a mother descending into the spiral of depression. During Peppe's journey coming home, years unravel over the miles that he put between himself and home. Years of absence echo in the dull sound of the wind breaking against the rocks. Peppe goes back home to retrieve, from the seabed, the breath of life (sciatu meo) that sustains his vitality, as well as his memory of an eternal love.
