The Hammer, the Knife and the Stone

In rural Sardinia, the days are punctuated by the gestures of craftsmen and farmers, which resonate in the villages.

With long sill frames, the directors create a simple reality that seems immutable. This dramatization that avoids the pitfall of the idealization of the rural world, begins on the poetry of a landscape and of time passing by. Details are slowly revealed, sounds gain in importance. The singing at the same time unusual and familiar are leaving the traditions’ sphere, to create a raw and unvarnished emotion. The formal boldness of the movie immerses the viewer in a soft transe that ends at the edge of lands, in a bluish sunset.
