There is no human trace, no roads, no villages and no street lights. But someone actually lives hidden among that immaculate nature. Is Father Sergio, a Benedictine monk in his 80s, that has been living for 40 years in a lodge that he restored. Whit Father Sergio, lives Gianmaria, a mild mannered little man that helps him with everything. One day Gianmaria returns from the nearest village with food supplies and with a boy and a girl, who are visibly exhausted for the 4 hour walk from the village. Strangely they have not come to see the old monk but another person who has been secretly living there for more than a month. Now their arrival will put at risk the peace and serenity of one of the last paradise spot on earth.
