Synopsis:

It has been almost thirty years since Filippo Dobrilla started to sculpt a giant male nude into the marble of a cave 650 metres deep. This almost inaccessible place has protected his secret juvenile passion for a man. The discovery of a cancer radically changes his lifestyle, obliging Filippo to face his unresolved tragedy. He is pushed back into darkness, but this time there is no way to get back to light.
