Spoilers ahead
Gabriele Rossetti, Fabrizio Gifuni, a young teacher, returns to Bari after the death of his father, Ernesto Rossetti, the stationmaster in the small Apulian village of San Vito dei Normanni, where Ernesto lived happily with his wife and their little son. The film unfolds as a flashback that peels back the layers of a family shaped by longing, ambition, and the pull of art, all framed by the warm, sunlit textures of southern Italy. The memory-driven structure invites viewers to witness how love and disappointment coalesce around a man whose creative fire eclipses the ordinary rhythms of family life.
