A journey spanning the past and present, full of accounts and reflections that tell the story of writer Mario Rigoni Stern (1921-2008). Over the course of a fictional day, from daybreak to starry night, his voice, borrowed from a vast, extensive archive, looks back on years of war and imprisonment. Back home, the former Alpini corps Sergeant has become the Guardian of the Asiago Plateau over time, and his homeland has become symbolic of a world we need to protect from war and neglect.
