In the innner Sicily, where the highways cut the hills, where the skeletons of the buildings emerge from the wheat fields and where the airplanes get into the soundspace, it is summer. Giorgio, a ten years old child, has decided to explore this territory after he heard a fairytale about fireflies. At the same time an old 87 years old sheperd lives his routine. The night and the morning he lives in a small old fashioned home made of only one room, meanwhile during the day he takes the cow to pasture. Both will have to deal with a rural territory, that despite having been and being affected from the signifying landscape of the human being, follows its unchanged cyclical nature.
