Barylli's Baked Beans
The film, with its hybrid form, read ancient geography through the popular experience of illegal diggers who, no longer in the business, reveal as privileged witnesses some events of the Sicilian territory. An elderly 'tombista', a grave robber begins to show symptoms of an inexorable loss of memory. The old man crosses the landscape like an explorer, a man of many paths and a thousand maps. He sees what others cannot. The progress of the disease led him to find his son, the last desperate attempt to perpetuate his memory. Different encounters are floating around the research of a contemporary artist who's working on ancient art as an inspiration for her performances. The result is a journey through unpublished stories and adventures of the archaeological Sicily, accompanied by the former clandestine diggers and collectors, new guides of the many places, stratified by history, from prehistoric times to the Sicilian "Greece".
