“…You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is
going,” Jesus tells Nicodemus (The Gospel According to St John, 3:8). This
subtly pervasive film by Marco Righi presents a provocative and exceptionally
mesmeric interpretation of a key passage in the New Testament. In a small
village somewhere in the Apennines, taciturn Antimo divides his time between the
local church, his tedious work on the farm and his chaste meetings with his
girlfriend. His pivotal encounter with the wild loner Lazzaro awakens in the
devout young man the desire to reach the very core of a faith far removed from
the regular Sunday sermons delivered by a representative of the Church – a
powerful institution for which freethinking and devotion to God represent
incompatible ideas.
