Agrarian environment in the mid-14th century. Vineyards and olive tree groves extend as far as the eye can see. Far away, there is a farmstead, simple but not poor. The family who lives there consists of the father, the mother and an eight-year-old son named Nino. They live as farmers, they have all the necessary and nothing more. The rhythm of their days is established by the hours marked by the chiming of the bells, the passing of the seasons, the rising of the sun, the rain and the wind, the scorching heat of summer. Nino wakes up at dawn and brings the goats grazing. Along sublime and archaic landscapes, he walks like in a huge journey along the path of knowledge.
