Synopsis
On the trail of the Phoenician hero Cadmus, whom the myth attributes the introduction of the alphabet in Greece, Nicola, in his thirties and uncertain about the future, and his ten-years-old brother Elia, embark on a journey to Italy in search of a new language, in order to give names to things and a meaning to words. In their travel, they record faces and places, painful realities and historical memories. The road becomes a path of training and a set of imaginary exploration. On the border between documentary and fiction, the film tells the hopes of the Country that will be.
