After a catastrophic mistake destroys his life, a guilt-ridden man hides in isolation until a group of young strangers arrives to restore a vineyard, unwittingly reviving his broken spirit. 

A fleeting five-second mistake shatters Adriano Sereni’s existence, costing him his family, career, and sanity. Consumed by guilt, he retreats into the solitude of an old estate, seeking a hermit’s life amidst the ruins of his past. Unexpectedly, his isolation is breached by a group of idealistic youth determined to restore the villa’s vineyard. Their presence gradually dismantles his fortress of remorse, pulling him from the shadows of his consequences and paving the way for redemption. 

Acclaimed director Paolo Virzi delivers a stirring testament to the human spirit, weaving a poignant narrative where the embrace of community kindles the courage to begin again.
