Four stories take place over each season in Sardinia. Young kids sneak away on a long trip to the sea for the first time. A shepherd encounters a young French woman who pilots her own plane. A nun returns to her village for a wedding. Old Giorgio wanders around the city looking for a sex worker.

Shining a rare light on life in rural Sardinia, this bucolic drama is the feature debut from writer-director Salvatore Mereu. Earning a Special Mention at the Venice Film Festival, Three-Step Dance is a delicately modulated examination of an isolated community untouched by the hand of modernity.
