Tardo Agosto

The buzzing drone of the cicadas, the rush of the wind and the rain, the crackle of burning fire, the murmur of the sea: sounds of a complex landscape that seems to change endlessly and then stop abruptly. In the Sicilian countryside, the sudden change in the weather heralds summer’s end. A pack of horses covered by the darkness, the smoke rises from a distant fire, the solitude of a young shepherd in an old farmhouse awaiting the distant news of the birth of a daughter.
