The pacing feels deliberate, allowing space for contemplative moments that highlight the stark beauty of the Italian countryside. The cinematography is striking, using natural light skillfully to enhance the rawness of their reality. It’s less about flashy storytelling and more about the subtle, everyday significance of family and the cyclical nature of life.
