Synopsis

A caravan of men on horseback is slowly swallowed by a poisoning factory. This video is a reflection on the impact of the industrial pole of Ottana (Sardinia*, 1960) had on the surrounding area, both environmentally and in a social point of view. Ottana is the name of a small village near the factory, in which every year many inhabitants die of cancer and most people have abandoned their usual jobs related to agriculture and sheep breeding.

*Sardinia (I) is an island with a very ancient culture situated in the middle of Mediterranean Sea.

I agree with Charles. The cast are listed as knights but I didn't see that anywhere in the film

Beautful. Evocative of the last shot in Med Hondo's Sarraounia which has the same camera movement to reveal the contemporary life going on beyond the 'set' of the Sarraouinia palace and goes from 19th Century to 20th in one movement. Bellissimo

a single, slow, lovely shot... sound and image are nice, but there is little content communicated in the film itself. the description of the film - the "concept" if you will - is interesting but not conveyed audiovisually.
