Synopsis
In 1954 Renato Dall’Ara shot his first short film with the help of a group of friends and communist Polesian cinema lovers. Being self-taught, he started the project almost just for fun about a fact which happened in Scano Boa, a thin, 5 kilometers long, sandy island full of mediterranean flora which separates the Po delta from the Adriatic sea. 60 years later, Lamberto Morelli is the last survivor of that troupe.
