ยซย Traveling to high altitudes, along the sites and sounds of a haunted mountain range with a troubled history, we come to know a solitary man who is living alone in a deserted village where he is acting out the part of a foreboding watchman. However, within his world on top of the mountain, Graziano is not only foreseeing and reflecting on worldly affairs โ€œdown thereโ€, he also fights ghosts vandalizing his property and hints at a spiritual reality beyond material living. Graziano writes down spiritual spells, political comments and opinions on wood and cardboard and assembles them all over the village. Next to being a painter of signs for his โ€œyard showโ€, Graziano also adopts the persona of an amorous opera singer and uses the desacralized church as his stage for his hymns to love. In Grazianoโ€™s constant search for a long lost love, the film is filled with a melancholic longing. We search with him for the shadow of this woman and her identity. Will he ever be able to give his desire a name? In this speculative film of hermetic life, the camera gazes at Grazianoโ€™s folk art environment and delves into his outsider melancholic enclave filled with both desire and rage.ย ยป
