Il grande saggio

The great sage

Walter Mazo / Italy / 2007 / 32 min / Colour


Set in the Lessini Mountains in the 1950s, the film tells the story of a young man from a mountain village and the rural surroundings in which he grew up. The film's protagonist is strongly tied to this slowly disappearing world. The innate and fertile poetic tendencies of the young man, fed by his profound contact with nature, lead him to a difficult choice: an opportunity to either build a future elsewhere, or remain in the place that he was raised. In the painful retreat from his native land, the young man will be helped by the “Great Sage” of the forest.
