Synopsis
Antonio, a 94 year old man, has promised he would walk every day to the local church in order to keep himself active. Helped by a walking stick and feeling with his other hand the houses' facades, Antonio, almost blind, has been walking forty five minutes a day for the last fifteen days. Every single day, no matter how cold or hot it is, as if it was some sort of ritual, Antonio walks the same route, not much more than a labyrinth of sounds and shadows for him. The film was shot along four years and it follows Antonio during a time when he goes through a serious physical deterioation. Time makes indeible marks on his fragile body, but Antonio keeps walking.
