In Lignan, a village in the Aosta Valley, there is an astronomical observatory. The large telescope towers over the small mountain community like a lighthouse. In late autumn, astrophysicist Paolo Calcidese is the only winter resident to move into the facility to carry out his scientific research and experiment with new technologies. However, due to a technical problem, he is forced to leave the stars and solitude behind to devote himself to other forms of life that he had previously ignored: humans. A film about empathy and the human need to better understand oneself through exchange with other people.
