A family’s old film found in a drawer. A big country house of childhood, abandoned. An archive of photos, one hundred years old or even older. A walk in a small town cemetery. Fleeting visions from an (unfinished) film about time.
In a moment captured in time, die-hard Italian fascists conduct reprisal executions of civilians in Lombardy during World War II.
Inspired by «The Conference of the Birds» by Farid al-Din 'Attar, an 18th century Persian poem, the film tells of a flock of birds that travel following a hoopoe, towards the Mountain of Kafh, home of King Simourgh, from whom they expect to receive the answers to all their questions. Between dream and reality, the birds will cross the 7 valleys.
