In Carnia, a remote area in the Eastern Alps in Italy, time seems to be passing asleep along the cyclical rhythms of nature and its elements. It's an intervention on local water resources, dictated by external economic interests, to unexpectedly move the local population's sense of attachment to the territory. Through a moderate provincial revolution the people of Carnia will be able to rejoin their motions to those of a larger and effective movement, which is opposed to the privatization of hydro-services.

Two women of different generations – Ira and Maria – carry on the story of the imperceptible interplay between the atavistic love of the Carnian land, the re-emergence of a seemingly-forgotten solidarity and a faint, yet wild idealism apparently nourished by the breath of nature itself.
