Giacomo, a nineteen-year-old boy who lost most of his hearing when he was little, spends his long holidays in the countryside of northern Italy playing the drums as loud as he can. When he gets tired, he goes for walks and picnics with Stefi, his old schoolmate. Unwittingly, the two follow a forgotten trail and discover themselves in a magical territory where time seems to be suspended. Alessandro Comodin's first feature is a meditative fiction about boredom and happiness, where the director portrays the blossoming of a passion with the same charm with which he films the tops of trees in the wind or the flow of river water.
