Description
Russian premiere
Graziano is the sole resident of a deserted mountain village. With his blind dog as his loyal companion, Graziano roams the empty streets, serenades in the abandoned church, and embarks on a quest to reunite with his long-lost love, whose name has faded from his memory. A melancholic portrait of a hermit dwelling in the echoing well of his daydream.
