Somewhere, sometime.. a world in which time runs the same as stones are falling implacably on stones..
A self sufficient universe, with rules that escape the common logic, and, even though, perfectly valid.
Days go by, between daily routine and endless conversations about life, death, God, weather forecast: what is divine and what is not? who brings and who stops the rain?.. after all, what is normal and what is not?..
On the fragile, impossible to distinguish border between fiction and documentary, in a contemplative and visually refined way, the film follows the existence of a marginal community that has a profound and unaltered human value although it is considered “null” from a social utilitarian point of view.
Apparently absurd actions get a second meaning, deeply emotional – the only way to escape the essential absurdity of the existence is love.
