Mario Lorenzini was a workman, a hiker, a hunter and a member of the Walser community of Piedmont in Valsesia. In the 1970s he buys a super8 camera and starts filming the world around him. Through his lens we see the seasons go by in Priami, his little village on the border between Switzerland and Italy.

 

While with his camera, Lorenzini explores his community, in the film a second standpoint comes out which gives out the interpretation of his world, his life and his idea of cinema. His relation with manliness, and the lack of relation with the feminine world, is often underlined generating a conflict between the expectation of his community and the reality of being unable to grant them.
