A magical and inaccessible land, enclosed between the mountains and the sea, where nothing is the way it seems. Here is where Rocco and Lucia live, a severe father, rooted to his land like a tree, who fights to defend it until the last sacrifice, and a wild girl, unable to speak since the death of her mother Argenzia, who possesses the gift of seeing and feeling her mother’s soul. The father, who sees her talking to the wind, believes her to be under an evil spell and desperately submits her to the healing rituals of a peasant sorceress.

One day Rocco refuses the offer of a lorry driver who wants to bury toxic waste in his land in exchange for money. But when his farm is set on fire he kills one of the attackers, and will be forced to escape on foot to save his daughter. Thus the journey begins, one of atonement for Rocco and the coming of age of Lucia, through the beauty of an untamed nature and the harshness of a dying land, where the girl will grow into a woman, leaving behind the memory of her mother in order to help her father, aggravated by the burden of his guilt.

An ancient story in modern days, in a world of the vanquished in which a light of hope shines, embodied by a young mute woman who regains her voice. Lucia is the land, forced to witness the fatal clash between her farmer father and those who poison his fields, in a touching adventure full of magic and redemption.
